Hello, ALA chapter liaisons!

Please pardon my second email of the week - this is a busy time for grants and training opportunities at ALA.

ALA has just announced its 2015 Public Innovators Lab for Libraries. Offered in partnership with The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, this fee-based, three-day training is designed to help libraries lead change in their communities. Libraries around the country are using Harwood's approach<http://www.ala.org/transforminglibraries/libraries-transforming-communities/resources-for-library-professionals> to hold community conversations and translate residents' wants and needs into progress.

The training will be held October 14-16 in Detroit. You can read more here: http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2015/07/ala-harwood-institute-announce-public-innovators-lab-libraries-community.

Please feel free to share with anyone in your networks who may be interested.

Many thanks,
Sarah
