Hello Michigan! The Library of Michigan Training Opportunity Assessment<https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8425235/2025-Training-Opportunity-Assessment> survey is open through the weekend. Almost 100 Michigan public library staff have shared their thoughts on training timing and topics, preferences regarding format, and staff availability. If you have a few minutes, we'd love to hear from you too! And if there are others at your library who might like to add their voice, please feel free to share the link with them. We'd love to hear from as many Michigan public library staff as possible. I also want to remind everyone about some upcoming vendor-provided MeL database trainings available to support Michigan library staff who are helping patrons utilize MeL resources, whether in a school library or public library. You can register for those trainings below. * Back to School with Brittanica<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=9751&> - September 9, 9 - 9:30 am * National Geographic Virtual Library<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=9746&> - October 15 at 2 -2:30 pm As always, if you want to talk about CE and libraries, please feel free to reach out!
