[Libs-Or] April Affinity Meetups

[BRUNSON-ROCHETTE Ericka * SLO]

Hello all!
Just sending a reminder of our April virtual affinity meetups. Please note that the 2SLGBTQIA+ group now meets on the third Thursday of the month instead of the third Tuesday. See below for the various offerings, days, times, and descriptions. If you are attending the OLA/PNLA Conference April 22-24th in Portland, there will also be affinity group offerings<https://oregonlibconference.org/2026/programs/> as part of that program schedule.

April Virtual Affinity Meetups
All virtual meetup groups are for individuals employed, volunteering, or looking for work in Oregon libraries. Managers and supervisors are permitted to join but are asked to be cognizant of barriers to authentic participation for other attendees attributed to disproportionate power dynamics.
