http://www.sos.wa.gov/library/libraries/training/trainingView.aspx?event=2551&audience=state

5/4/2015    8:30 AM to 10:00 AM

9/14/2015    8:30 AM to 10:00 AM

In this roll up your sleeves virtual workshop series, we will gain clarity on the relevance and purpose of our work together in libraries. We will introduce and immediately apply Liberating Structures—methods designed to include and unleash everybody in shaping next steps. Themes to be explored may include:

    attracting more patrons,
    generating and broadcasting an exciting library narrative,
    support of early learning, and
    bridging the digital divide.

We will make fast progress on problems facing libraries and librarians while learning a new approach to handle any challenge that arises. The 3 part series will be practical and seriously playful for all levels of library staff and management. Teams or small groups are encouraged, however, individual participation also works. Webinars facilitated by Nancy White, Full Circle Associates and Keith Candless, Liberating Structures.
