Hello Delaware Valley Chapter!\u00a0 This is Jess Denke, Public Services Librarian at DeSales University and Chapter Vice President.\u00a0 Thank you for electing me to serve you!\u00a0 I have already connected with the rest of the Chapter Board.\u00a0 They are a very enjoyable and industrious bunch.\u00a0 We are going to have a great year and I am looking forward to connecting with you personally.<\/p>\n
One of my new responsibilities is to communicate to you the value of our programming and to encourage you to participate.\u00a0 ACRL\/DVC connects librarians throughout the Delaware Valley and beyond.\u00a0 But, more than that, we seek to embolden our members and future members through connections that inspire and inform.\u00a0 We do this, in part, through a mentorship program.<\/p>\n
We hope to expand the ACRL\/DVC mentorship program, but we can\u2019t do it without individuals who are willing to dedicate a few hours of their time to talk to aspiring librarians, early-career librarians, or librarians who are changing course.\u00a0 To make it even easier for you to sign up, we added a checkbox to the DVC membership form \u2013 please check if you would like to be a mentor!<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>If you click “Edit Profile,” you’ll also see an option to become part of ACRL\/DVC’s mentorship program.\u00a0Please take this opportunity to get involved!<\/p>\n I know you can think of at least one person who has provided you with invaluable feedback and informed your professional practice.\u00a0 I think you can be that person for someone else.\u00a0 If you have any questions, concerns, or want to give me some advice for my time on the board please contact me at Jessica.Denke@desales.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 I would love to hear from you.
