Kick Up Your Heals: Field Trips, Week of June 1, 2009

Due to personal/professional upheaval, I've let poor little Shelved @ NYC suffer from neglect this past week or so. No more! June promises an abundance of libraryland events, yours to enjoy while the ominous tick-tock of the budget clock winds down to the zero hour. Get out where? Get out of the library:

• June 2: Librarian, heal thyself, with METRO's "Nurturing Leadership Within Your Own Library."
• June 3: If you want to attend LibCampNYC this year, here's hoping you're already on the list. If you missed out on this popular unconference, console yourself with a library tour. ARLIS NY has arranged a visit to the New-York Historical Society Library; NY Librarians Meetup has done likewise with the Youth Services & Multilingual Center at BPL's Central Branch.
• June 4: The MyMETRO Special Interest Group will wrangle the leaders of three major NYC librarian social networking groups on their D.I.Y. Networking panel.
• June 5-6: The Desk Set wants you out on the dance floor for the 3rd annual installment of Dance! Dance! Library Revolution. Raffle proceeds go towards Books Through Bars.
