Just a reminder of what is happening with these events. Please let us know if you have questions. Available July 2021 :: New and Advanced Director Workshops These two events are being transformed into online, self-paced, learning pathways. Details on how to register and complete this content through our Niche Staff Skills Academy will be posted to Michlib-L and emailed to library directors this summer. We expect both of these online opportunities to be available by July 1, 2021. There will be no charge to participate in these events. Beginning Workshop This event is also moving to an online, self-paced format. This pathway will be included in our Niche Staff Skills Academy, but will not be available by the summer of 2021. We will provide additional information over the summer on the expected date of release. There will be no charge to participate in this event. Library Staff Certification If you need to complete one or more of these to meet Library Staff Certification requirements, your certification application will be held until you are able to complete the content. State Aid If your library needs staff to complete the courses in order for the library to be eligible for State Aid the library will be granted a waiver by LM. If there are other reasons your library is not able to meet the State Aid requirements you should contact Kathy Webb to discuss options for your library.
