[kids-lib] Online professional development opportunities

[Katie Anderson]

Hello! I just received the following announcement of upcoming webinars in December 2012 through May 2013. These webinars are a great professional development opportunity for children's library staff who don't have a lot of time or resources. The webinars are one or two hour interactive online sessions that you take participate in at your desk which means no additional time or money is required for traveling. Sessions are $55 per person or $195 for groups. If you can't make the live session, a few webinars are archived so you can watch them whenever works for you and are available to purchase for $25. The down side is that archived webinars aren't interactive so you can't ask questions of the presenter or 'talk' with fellow participants, the plus side is that you can still learn great information on your own schedule.
