On November 6, 2014, the Cooperative Directors Association, the Library of Michigan, and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) will co-host a program instructing and preparing librarians on interacting with the media. Head of the journalism faculty at Wayne State University and Michigan Radio's senior political analyst Jack Lessenberry will present. For the low cost of $70/person (including lunch), you will work with public relations expert, Robert Kolt, of Kolt Communications, & his team on skills such as talking to the media, what to say & when to say it. Don't delay! Space is limited for this great, low-cost opportunity to learn valuable tools to make your library even more visible to your community. This program will be held at the Meijer branch of the Jackson District Library.

Thanks and have a great weekend! - heather ******************** Heather M.
