We've recently added a new learning pathway to our on-demand professional development platform! This new addition is a significant step forward in providing targeted skill enhancement opportunities for library personnel throughout New Jersey. We invite you to browse this curated collection of courses, specifically designed for public library staff.
Among the diverse array of courses offered, notable ones include Accessibility in Your Library, where JJ Pionke guides participants through evaluating their own library spaces to be more inclusive. This course provides practical advice staff and administration can use to enhance the customer experience. Another critical course, Adult Learning in the Library, focuses on transforming library programs to better cater to adult learners. It offers strategies and insights based on extensive research. Similarly, Adult Library Programs that Work presents a range of engaging program ideas for adult patrons, ensuring libraries meet diverse needs.
Courses like Advising Parents About Child Digital Media Use and Community Homelessness and What Libraries Can Do address contemporary challenges faced by libraries. These, alongside others such as Designing Effective Library Signage and Disability Accommodations in Libraries, demonstrate the pathway's comprehensive approach to covering a wide array of topics relevant to modern librarianship.
The new Public Library Learning Pathway is a testament to LibraryLinkNJ's commitment to the professional growth of library staff. We are proud to empower staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the evolving landscape of library services and to better serve their communities.
