*BEFORE REGISTERING:  Check your calendar to ensure you are available to meet on these dates.  We recommend you receive approval from your supervisor to attend a minimum of 5 out of 7 meetings; however, you should attend all meetings to get the full impact of the course.  Orientation on 9/24 is required.  Failure to attend at least 5 discussions may result in a reduction in or loss of LEUs.

This cohort has limited space; we can only accept 20 registrants!  Currently, this cohort is the only way to take the course (there is no 100% self-paced/recorded option available).  We do plan to offer this course for a second cohort of library staff in the future, likely in Spring 2021.

This entire course, with coursework and meetings, is worth a total of 20 LEUs.  You must complete the entire course to receive LEUs.

Facilitators: Beth Yates, Children’s Consultant, Indiana State Library / Christy Franzman, Teen Engagement Coordinator, Hamilton East Public Library
