Trainings for Michigan library staff on leading effective meetings and conversations

MCLS will again be offering, in partnership with the Library of Michigan, several training sessions on developing essential skills for library staff to facilitate effective conversations and meetings. These skills can be used in a variety of settings including staff and work meetings, strategic planning sessions, one-on-one interactions with library patrons, library sponsored Community Conversations, and focus groups. Because they are funded by the Library of Michigan, these trainings are only open to staff of Michigan libraries. Workshops will be offered virtually in September and October 2020.

Also in partnership with the Library of Michigan, and offered for Michigan library staff of all levels and positions, MCLS will be offering virtual training on foundational digital literacy topics this fall. This workshop is being offered multiple times throughout September and October 2020 to accommodate smaller participation limits in each session, which will allow for plenty of personal attention and lots of interactive small group activities. Foundations of Digital Literacy is designed to help library staff gain confidence in everyday interactions with technology and is intended for participants who would like a basic introduction to digital literacy topics.
