Training

Let’s do good library stuff in June!

Muizenberg Beach HutsWhat are you up to in June?? Vacations are fun! To make them even better, you could join us for the Summer Library Boot Camp series!

We want to be sure we are helping all our members to hone the skills they need to be wonderful in their libraries. Each session will be two hours, from 11 to 1:00. Light lunch will be served. We will talk about our topic, share ideas, and everyone will leave with a basic understanding of how to use the class topic and some strategies to try in your own library.

Scroll down through these classes, and sign up for each class!

CopyrightCopyright Tue. June 12

If you are in a library, you are probably the point person for answering copyright questions, or for enforcing copyright rules for your organization.

But: how confident do you feel in your knowledge of federal copyright law?? If you are like a lot of library people, you would probably feel better if you had more basic experience.

In this class we will walk through the basics of copyright law, and some ideas about training your community members in understanding and following copyright laws. (Pointing out some of the massive potential financial penalties can be helpful!)

Weeding Lettuce (4858251381)Collection Development and Weeding Thurs. June 14

Of course libraries are much more than “just” books, but books are our best-known product. In this class we are going to talk about creating a collection development policy specific to your library. As part of that process, we will also talk about strategies for weeding without tears – yours or anyone else’s! (It’s a challenge, but it can be done!)

Don Quijote de La Mancha, Teresa Carreño TeatherProgramming on a Budget Tue. June 19

We are known for books, and even for computers; but libraries are so much more! In this session, we will discuss different types of programs that you might try in your own library. We will focus on programs that require little (or no!) money, materials, or even prep. Participants will be encouraged to share details of programs they have attended or have presented.

Findhorn-Foundation-and-Community

Connecting to Your Community
Thurs. June21

Our whole job is to do some great customer service. We use a variety of tools: books, materials, programs. But our real job is to connect information to people in the communities we serve – things they need, things they want, things they may not even know exist! In this session we are going to talk about ways to identify the demographics of your community members (it’s not always obvious), and strategies to make those good connections.

Training for Information Literacy
Tue. June 26

When people ask what we do in libraries, talking about Information Literacy will always be the right answer! In this session we will chat about the basics of Information Literacy, then talk about strategies for training different age groups and community groups. Identifying fake news is not a challenge; let’s help the communities we serve to understand the information that is both accurate and best for their personal needs!
