SABLE

The free, onlineSupplemental Alternative Basic Library Education (SABLE) program provides additional resources in library knowledge and skills for staff members who have no formal education in library science. This program is a supplement to the ABLE courses; however, they are not tied to the completion of the ABLE courses.  The SABLE program is not designed to replace university level training in library science and no college credit is offered. To receive Certificates of Completion, print the Congratulations Page at the end of each course, add the requested information, and send to the Idaho Commission for Libraries.
