Library Staff Training Course & 2nd Transitional Project Partners meeting – Austria, April 2015
Linz, Austria was the venue for the 5 day library staff training course and 1 day transitional project meeting. Three members of staff from Monaghan County Library Services attended the week. The training was coordinated by the hosts at the magnificent Tower of Knowledge, Linz and Project Coordinator Ljublana Public Libraries. For many staff, this was the first time being back in a classroom setting, especially as many of us are used to being on the front desk or the floor of the public library dealing with a multitude of queries and work every day. The aim of the training course was to improve library staff knowledge and skills in organising learning activities for the unemployed along with a better understanding of how unemployment effects people lives.

The course content was:

The training allowed for the exchange of ideas, opinions, experiences and possible solutions to some of the issues public libraries face. It was a great opportunity to learn how public libraries operate and function in the different countries, learning how to provide different activities and especially how to reach those marginalised in society.

The one point that stood out clearly from all partners was that the library should be part of the local community. It is a hub for cultural, educational and social activity. It should be the first point of contact for citizens when seeking information. Librarians need to advocate more and take opportunities to promote the service, but we get so tied up in our everyday work, assisting the customer in any possible way in seeking information, that we forget to promote the broad range of services on offer to everyone.

The staff from Monaghan Library Service went back home with a suitcase full of literature and brains bursting with ideas to start implementing in County Monaghan.
