**Work in public libraries? Or are you a student?** NAG are offering some half price places to those working in public libraries who would be otherwise unable to attend #NAG17 this November in Leeds. We recognise that training budgets have been drastically reduced around the country and we feel this is one way to support our members in public libraries. A limited number of these half price places are available to NAG members working in public libraries. If you need to check whether your local authority is a NAG member, just drop us an email and we can easily do that for you. Don’t forget, even if your local authority is no longer a member, you can join NAG as a personal member for just £55 a year for all the same member benefits! All you need to apply for the half price places is to email us up to 250 words explaining why you would benefit from our papers and workshops around “Proving our Worth: Evidence and Data in Acquisitions”. More information on this year’s speakers is available on our website. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis so please get your applications in as soon as possible. (Maximum of one discounted place per NAG Membership) If you’re a student, you can apply for a free student place worth £375! It includes full place, accommodation, gala dinner and all your meals – all you have to find is your travel costs to and from the venue. The deadline for applications is 1st August 2017. Don’t forget that another route to a free place for anyone is via the NAG Award – why not nominate your team for the chance of a free place to #NAG17? Full details on our website.
