Our colleagues at Metronet multitype library system are offering money for any library staffer to do some library training. The only catch? You have to be done by December 31 of this year!

Check this out for more detail below from Metronet:

Metronet has two opportunities for library staff in Minnesota. 

Thanks to an additional $10,000 ARPA fund allocation from MDE | State Library Services to Metronet, we are able to extend learning opportunities to staff in any school, public, academic, or special library in Minnesota. There are two opportunities:

MLA Conference Registration: If you meet one of these eligibility requirements, Metronet can reimburse you for MLA Conference registration:

• In the profession five or fewer years & work in a Minnesota library. 

• Have not attended a state-level conference (MLA or ITEM) in-person & working in a Minnesota library. 

• Currently unemployed from a library, have worked in a library within the last year, & seeking work in  a library. Your past employment in a library does not have to have been in Minnesota.

• A student in an MLIS program or library media certification program.

This does not require pre-approval, but please fill out the form asap.

Professional Development Awards: Metronet will pay the registration fee for any library-related course you wish to take throughout the fall of 2022. Staff in all types of libraries and at any level can apply. Groups are encouraged to apply. Training may be online or in-person. See suggested providers/courses here.
