A Note From the
Continuing Education Coordinator

We are excited to announce that registration is now open to individuals for the 2023 Staff Development Day on Columbus Day, Monday, October 9th<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=221520173&mm=80183285693> at Lakeland Community College.  We are thrilled to have staff from 5 libraries participating this year.  We have 25 spots open to individuals.

Our Keynote is
You are the Guardians at the Gate:
You may not know this, but you are the leaders in the fight against ignorance, censorship, and misinformation.  When your customers think of the library, they think of you!  You are the guardians at the gates, truly unsung heroes who deal with all types of chaos and disorder throughout the days and nights at your library. This keynote will celebrate your awesome work, give some tools to fight the good fight and provide techniques to make deeper connections with your customers. This will be presented by Maurice Coleman creator of T is for Training the long-running training/education and empowerment podcast.

We have a line of breakout sessions to benefit all staff including:

  *   Ambassadorship = Customer Service + Marketing + Community Engagement 
  *   Together We Need to Understand Diversity in the Library Collection  
  *   Unleash the Power of Nonverbal Communication!  
  *   Re-energizing Your Space: How Cleaning and Mental Health are Connected 
  *   Bridging the Gap: Social Work in Libraries 
  *   Roundtable Conversation about Book Challenges 
  *   Art of Storytelling
  *   Re-energize Your Spirit 

We also have dedicated time to network with your peers.  In addition, there will be stations throughout the day for relaxing and re-charging your energy. These will consist of adult coloring, puzzles, health tech, meditation and more.
