Registration Information

IMPORTANT: 

Super Library Supervisor is extremely popular and space is limited to 35 participants per series.

We will be using the same equitable registration and lottery process implemented in previous years:

  • Registration will open at 7 AM on Monday, March 8, 2021. We will take up to 100 initial registrants through Friday, April 2, 2021
  • Once we close registration, we will use a lottery process to select a final total of 35 workshop participants per series.
  • Registration only places you in the lottery. You will be notified after registration closes if you were successful or not in obtaining a place in the FY2021 Spring Series
  • Registering for the lottery commits you to attending all 4 workshops, if you are selected.

We will notify registrants as soon as possible with the results of the lottery.

Please register for only one Series (A or B).  Registration for a Series indicates that you are available to attend all of the scheduled dates in that Series. We will not be able to accomdate requests to attend some dates from one series and some dates from another. 

Registration for the lottery is online only. Register online by using the link below. You can only register yourself and only register once.
