Free online webinars and virtual conferences in August
by White, Shannon (MDE) 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

August can be a time of transition for library staff, as summer programs wind down and a new school year begins. Teams may be looking to reset their goals, objectives or tactics, and learning about new approaches can be a great way to infuse innovation and enthusiasm into the process. This month's list of over 80 free webinars and three online conferences could be a great place to find that inspiration. This list, provided by the Wyoming State Library<http://library.wyo.gov/services/training/calendar/>, comes out every month and is regularly updated on the WebJunction Free Training<http://www.webjunction.org/find-training/free-events.html> page, where you can also view the offerings by topic. For additional training, check out the WebJunction Catalog<https://learn.webjunction.org/>, free and open to library staff and volunteers in Michigan public libraries. https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/free-webinars-for-library-staf… This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
