Library Practice (Information)
Library Practice - Practical Procedures in the Library is an in-person member only training session to explore the FHACT Library and make the best use of its resources.
Sessions are usually on the fourth Monday of the month except December. That includes public holidays if it happens to fall on that day for those people who work. There will be no sessions for March, April & May 2025, so if you keep meaning to attend then the next few months is the time to get in and register.
Members should register to attend this event by logging in and selecting the event with "(Register)" in the title. Sessions are limited to only 4 attendees and due to the close proximity you may like to bring your own mask to wear.
