Weekly Discussion Session this Thursday! 11:30 to 1:00

Lunchtime Crowd at Hyde Park (6604681881)

It’s summer time! It’s hot outside!

Nobody really feels like working hard – we get this. This is time to do things a little differently, and to have time to kick back and enjoy your work.

CMLE wants to help you to keep your library skills sharp over the summer!

Each week we are establishing a discussion session, where we gather to talk about a different topic relevant to the work we are all doing in libraries. These are casual, lunchtime sessions. You can drop in and out on your own schedule. Bring your lunch, bring a beverage (stop by Target as you come visit us – they are just next door!), and be prepared for some pleasant chatting with colleagues about different library issues.

We have some dates and topics suggested below. But anything relevant to libraries – and that’s a veeeerrrrrryyyy wide definition! – is fine to bring to share and discuss.

We will meet at CMLE HQ: 570 1st Street SE, St Cloud, MN 56304. Come in the front door, and around to our office area. We are setting the official times for this as 11:30 to 1; but we will probably be happy to see you any time!

Join us! Let’s have lunch, chat, and enjoy our summer!

From ITEM: Summer Staff Development Training!

We are passing this on from ITEM:

“Park Rapids Area Schools and Nevis Public Schools are again hosting two weeks of staff development training this summer – one in June and one in August. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this with your staff.

We are inviting area school employees and substitute staff to join us in any of these trainings, which are being held in the Park Rapids Century School building and in the Nevis School building (depending on the date). Each two hour class has a $25 registration fee, with the exception of the full day, August 11th session with Kayla Delzer.

If you have any questions please contact me at lconzemius@gmail.com.

Over 50 2-hour classes are available! Most of these classes are related to technology integration, utilizing all types of portable devices and tools. There are also classes for all of the required teacher continuing education areas of reading, mental health, accommodations, ELL and positive behavior strategies.

Please note that the courses for continuing education are for members of Education Minnesota only. Please share this information with others who may be interested.”
