Locally I've gotten really involved with our chapter of Refresh [1] and a User Experience meetup [2] as well as keeping up with the events at our local coworking space [3].
I've found these groups super-helpful for connecting with other web folks in my area, keeping up with technology, and otherwise getting outside the bubble of libraryland. And I've been able to reach out to the community when we are hiring for technical positions, which has been useful in the past.
