Registration for the 2015 Beginning Workshop will be open in March. When the online registration is available messages will be posted to Michlib-L and links will be available from the LM website,
www.michigan.gov/beginningworkshop.
The Library of Michigan’s Beginning Workshop is a 3-day event geared for library staff members that have not had the opportunity for formal library coursework. Its aim is to introduce library staff to a variety of topics and offer them
practical skills that they can use working in a Michigan public library. Anyone new to the profession or just hired at a library, no matter what their academic credentials, is welcome to attend the event.
For those seeking an initial Level 3 or Level 4 certificate from the Library of Michigan attendance at the entire Beginning Workshop is obligatory. For more information on Library of Michigan’s certification program visit the Library
Certification page. (Other workshops that may be needed for State Aid disbursements are the New Directors’ and the Advanced Directors’ workshops scheduled each fall.)
