New Members Round Table (NMRT)

An American Library Association (ALA) Round Table, NMRT strives to connect new members of ALA with seasoned professionals who can help navigate both ALA as a professional resource, but also provide career guidance to freshly minted librarians.  

NMRT Mentoring Program About

Two distinct types of mentoring are available:

1. Career Mentoring: a year-round program to connect a newer librarian with a seasoned librarian for a mentoring relationship relating to career development in librarianship. 

2. Conference Mentoring: a program designed to help first time attendees of the ALA Annual Conference (whose size can often be overwhelming and intimidating!) feel at ease by pairing them with seasoned conference attendees.
