Cross-posted. Please excuse duplication.

Several summer planning workshops are coming up in the next couple weeks, and registration just opened for an early-February workshop in Columbus and an early-March workshop in Bowling Green.

Ohio's four Regional Library Systems offer Summer Library Program workshops in support of public library SLPs, with support from the State Library. The workshops offer a terrific opportunity to network with colleagues, idea-swap, learn from others' experiences, and get invigorated and organized for your summer 2024 programs, special events, and reading/activity challenges.

You can click over to any of these workshops and register from the Summer Library Program page on the SLO website<https://library.ohio.gov/libraries/library-programs-and-development/summer-library-program> (click on the Workshops and Webinar Recordings tab):
