At the end of 2024, the membership of the DC Ex Libris User Group (DCExLIBRIS) held a vote on the naming of our regional user group. The membership had long felt that the name did not adequately reflect our membership, which represent Maryland, Virginia, and DC.
Based on the overwhelming result of the vote, we would like to be known as the Mid-Atlantic Regional User Group (MARUG) going forward.
