The 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 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

are the New Directors' and the Advanced Directors' workshops scheduled each fall.)
