As you are considering fall conferences and workshops for professional development, remember the Library of Michigan Continuing Education stipend program. The next review of requests will be early July so keep the program in mind for late summer and fall events. These events can include a workshop, webinar or conference. The next deadline will be June 30th for events AFTER June 30th. Going forward, you can submit at any time through the year and requests will be reviewed each quarter.
