Good day Community Partners

Also,  group member(s) who refer their friend(s) to enroll in the current group, will receive an additional $20 gift card for each person who complete all sessions. Prior to attending the focus group prospective group members will complete an brief intake form.

I'd greatly appreciate it, if I could meet with you via Zoom teleconference to discuss a partnership with your organization.

The Plainfield Public Library is happy to announce free Virtual Meeting Rooms. Now accepting bookings! 

Previously, one of the most popular services at the Library was our Meeting Rooms. While our physical space is not currently available, we wanted to make sure that those who wanted to hold a virtual meeting had the ability to do so. We know that not everyone has access to virtual meeting room software or certain features not available in free accounts. 

Therefore, Individuals, organizations, and groups that would like to use a Virtual Meeting Room via the Library's organizational Zoom account may now do so using the application form on our Meeting Rooms page on the website. http://www.plainfieldlibrary.info/Services/MeetingRooms.html

Please share with your networks and let me know if you have any questions.
