Please join us for the workshop Fresh Practices for the Community Focused Library presented by national library consultants Joan Frye Williams and George Needham. This workshop is part of the 2010/2011 LSTA grant series aimed to help library staff and trustees obtain the skills to best work with the many diverse groups of people who are using their libraries daily.
You’ve worked hard, tried to maintain quality services, but nowadays everybody is talking about doing “more with less.” In this lively, interactive session, library consultants Joan Frye Williams and George Needham will offer an alternative: how to do “different with less.”
You’ll learn new ways to:
• Create a more attractive menu of offerings for your changing communities
• Extend traditional library principles using modern tools and techniques
• Streamline operations without abandoning library values or library users
• Reconnect with your own sense of excitement, energy, and most important, optimism
The workshop will be presented once on May 16, 2011 from 9:30-12:30 and again on May 17, 2011 from 9:30 to 12:30 at the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library.
Participants will earn 3 contact hours for attending a workshop and will receive mileage reimbursement.
This program is geared toward library staff, directors, and trustees. If you would like to attend or send someone from your library, please RSVP to Jill Ryder-Frederick by May 4th, 2011. Please be sure tell me which day you would like to sign up for.
