This virtual, one-day training will bring together Indiana and Maryland youth services staff to learn about the use of digital media in libraries and the role library staff can play as media mentors to youth and caregivers.

The training consists of morning (10am-12pm) and afternoon (1:30pm-3:30pm) sections with a 90 minute break for lunch. Registrants are expected to attend the entire workshop (both AM and PM) so that the morning foundational work can inform the practical application discussions in the afternoon.

The entire workshop is worth 4 LEUs.

The morning will explore technology/media trends and basic concepts surrounding media mentorship.

The afternoon will focus on practical applications and peer learning, helping library staff to incorporate media mentorship principles into their library programs, collections, and services.

REGISTER HERE, via the Events Calendar, and Zoom links for both AM and PM sessions will be sent to you the week of October 24. Registration will CLOSE at NOON on Tuesday, October 25.

Attending the live workshop is recommended, but we understand that scheduling conflicts occur. We aim to record this training and post it to ISL's Archived Trainings page. You can request that the recording be sent to you via this form.
