Network with librarian colleague and make new friends at the Naismith
Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame <http://www.hoophall.com/>  in
Springfield on Saturday October 21 from 5-8 p.m.! Even if you're not a
basketball fan, you'll have a good time in this exciting new facility,
enjoying the company and the outstanding food and drink provided by
Max's Catering
<http://www.maxrestaurantgroup.com/locations/tav_index.php> . And if you
ARE a basketball fan, well, you're going to love it! Bring the kids,
friends, other fans and come early to visit the Hall of Fame exhibits at
a special price (there will be a place on your registration form to
purchase tickets at the reduced rate). While you're at it, plan to spend
the day in Springfield - there's lots to do! There are all sorts of
museums; family attractions (Six Flags New England isn't far); outdoor
adventures, parks and state forests; and more. Check out
http://www.valleyvisitor.com <http://www.valleyvisitor.com/>  for some
suggestions. 

 

The Basketball Hall of Fame is easy to find
<http://www.hoophall.com/visitor/directions.htm>  (see directions below)
and easily accessible from all directions. To visit the exhibits, be
sure to purchase your reduced price tickets when you register (the
exhibit halls close at 5:00 p.m. so plan your visit accordingly and come
directly to the event). There is plenty of free parking at either end of
the complex as well as an underground garage.
