We’re offering a menu of continuing education sessions your library or organization can pick from if you’re looking for a short, interactive training session for your library, board meeting, regional library organization meeting, etc. These sessions range from 20 to 90 minutes, are designed to encourage discussion, are on a variety of topics, and all you need to do is submit a request if you’re interested. We require a minimum number of attendees to ensure an interactive learning environment, and we require attendees to register in advance. Most sessions are offered in person or virtually, and some are only available in person.

Here are the current menu items:

  • Book Displays
  • Countdown to Coding
