Join this webinar to hear about some of the national and international networks that could help you widen your professional contacts, explore the benefits of networking and share your experiences to help map some of the more local opportunities.

You will hear some examples from people working in libraries and some top tips for networking from Libraries Connected Programmes Director Sarah Mears and Membership Engagement Manager Helen Drakard.
