Hello Library Community! We have been able to put together a week of in-person training with vendor trainers from Gale and Britannica on the new and continuing resources that will begin on Oct. 1, 2015 and available in the Michigan eLibrary. Below you will find the locations and links to the registration page, but here are the details for all locations: There will be 2 sessions you can choose from—9:00-12:00 and 1:00-4:00. Refreshments will be served at both sessions. You can bring a laptop or other device to connect to the host location’s WiFi or just come and take in the vendor’s presentations.

We will be doing a drawing for special swag items if you bring a teacher or homeschool parent with you!
