Continuing Education to Print and Share

Last Day for Circ Staff
Tuesday, November 12, 2019 at Westlake Porter Public Library<https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo.php?eventid=51164>
This year we are focusing on Understanding Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type and Body Language.
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator assessment is one of the most popular and well-known personality assessments today, taken by 80% of Fortune 500 companies and 89% of Fortune 100 companies according to the CPP. It allows you to understand your personality type and effectively use your unique strengths. It also helps you to appreciate and successfully navigate differences in communication, decision-making and problem-solving.

In the afternoon you will hone your skills even more by looking at one of the most significant and important elements of communication, namely nonverbal communication. You will learn about how essential it is to be aware of your nonverbal cues, and how you can learn to read the cues of others, both your colleagues and your patrons, in order to understand them more effectively.

A Note from the Executive Director
[https://neo-rls.org/photos/50177_03042019090623.jpg]This past Friday, November 1 st, we held our 7th Staff Development Conference (formerly known as Staff Day) with 136 people in attendance.  We were forced to try several new things this year due to a lack of availability in terms of dates and venues.  However, we are liking the changes!  To start with, we changed the venue from Kent State University’s Student Center to the Hilton Garden Inn, Twinsburg.  Pros – easier to get to, better parking, easier to navigate throughout the building, AND we had the place to ourselves. (We also think the food selection is much better!)  We held the Conference on a Friday instead of on Columbus Day.  Pros – nice way to end the week, more relaxed and not on a holiday.  The only con we could think of with these changes was that we can’t accommodate more than 150 attendees at the Hilton Garden Inn and every other year we have around 300+.  So, what to do?  Well, first we will read all of the evaluations to see if everyone who attended liked the venue and the day of the week.  If so, we decided we would take a note from the fact that we also opened up the Conference to individuals this year, allowing those that were interested to attend even if the entire staff of a library could not.   Pros – provided learning and networking opportunities to interested staff and those libraries did not have to close.  With this in mind, we are now thinking of having two Staff Development Conferences in 2020 so that no one has to close their library.  Libraries could choose to send part of the staff on one day and the other part on the other day or continue to attend together.  The NEO-RLS Staff Development Conference is a great way to take advantage of a wide variety of programs, all in one place, as well as a great opportunity to network with your colleagues.  We look forward to continuing to refine the Conference so that it benefits as many people as possible and hope to see you next year.

Adult Programming Palooza: Summer Reading & More

Looking to meet people who do what you do? Ready for a new networking experience? Join library staff members who are tasked with programming for the big kids - that’s right….the adults!

Where can this happen you ask? At the first Adult Programming Palooza held by NEO-RLS.  Your feet and your brain will be moving fast. The morning will consist of an opportunity to hear from other libraries and what they are offering for adult programs including this year’s summer reading program.  After lunch you will hear about the state summer reading theme, “Imagine Your Story,” from Janet Ingram Dwyer from the State Library of Ohio.  The day will end with a brainstorming of ideas for this year’s summer reading program.  Please join us on Thursday, December 12th at Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library<https://mms.neo-rls.org/Calendar/moreinfo_responsive.php?eventid=54960&org_id=NEOL>.
