Descriptions

Disorganized staff or committee meetings got you down? Would you like to add value to your library’s services by facilitating meetings for community groups such as Rotary or a school’s Parent-Teacher Organization? Do you view your library as a campus or community hub for in-depth conversations about issues of the day? This series of workshops will help you move your career forward, position your libraries as central to your community’s well-being, and develop skills to promote intra-community understanding. We are delighted to be working once more with the dynamic and talented team at Philadelphia’s community engagement and design firm P’unk Ave.
