The Library of Michigan strives to support libraries' efforts to provide quality service and programming to their communities. A major element of excellent service is empowering library staff to learn and implement new skills and best practices. The Library Continuing Education program helps by providing financial support for library staff continuing education. Michigan public, academic and school library staff are eligible to apply for continuing education stipends. Stipend applications are reviewed quarterly. The deadline for this quarter is September 30. If you are interested in a Continuing Education Stipend, please carefully review the Program Criteria and Application Questions<https://www.michigan.gov/documents/libraryofmichigan/LSTA_Continuing_Education_program_criteria_494830_7.pdf>. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Evette Atkin Evette M.
