PLIX Online Workshops

Spring & Summer 2020

Interactive online workshops designed to help you get started running PLIX activities in your library. Meet and chat with the PLIX team and other public library professionals!

This spring, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we set out to create a series of interactive online workshops for several PLIX activities that are well-suited to online or at-a-distance programming. Join us to learn more about these activities and brainstorm with other library professionals about how you might offer these programs remotely. Below you'll find more information on our upcoming and past workshops. We're excited to see you online!

If you'd like to attend a future workshop, please RSVP.
