Supervisor Success: Developing Programs That Work
Thursday, March 31, 2016 -  10 am Pacific - 3 hours 30 min
Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/supervisor-success-symposium.html

As our profession transforms and our work changes, nurturing skillful and competent supervisors has become a priority for all types of libraries. Rising to the challenge, many people are creating and offering learning and development programs in their libraries. Whether we hire outside consultants or create in-house programs, we could all benefit from knowing the best practices. Let's learn together about the most effective and low-cost options for supervisor development programs, and how to strategically promote implementation of those programs in our organizations. And let's explore how we might motivate our supervisors to fully benefit from their learning.

If you are interested in developing supervisor training programs for your library, get this one-day, free symposium on your calendar! This online event will bring together some of the most effective practices for supporting supervisor development. You'll hear from a variety of different libraries about their programs so that you can begin thinking about offering your own.

This symposium is hosted in collaboration with ALA's Learning Round Table<http://www.ala.org/learnrt/>.

Please see the registration page for more details about the symposium and three topics which will be covered. You can attend any or all of the three sessions. There will be a short break in between the sessions, and your registration link will work the entire time. All presentations will be recorded and available after the symposium is completed.

Presented by: Jerilyn Veldof, University of Minnesota; Heather Sostrom, Northeast Florida Library Information Network (NEFLIN); Sandra Smith, Denver Public Library and Angela Ibrahim, Pikes Peak Library District

Incubate Creativity at Your Library
Thursday, April 19, 2016 - 12 pm Pacific - 1 hour
Registration: http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/incubate-creativity-at-your-library.html

The Library as Incubator Project<http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/library-as-incubator-project.html> (LAIP) promotes the library as a place to connect and create. LAIP has networked with hundreds of libraries who are working with their communities to incubate and inspire creative projects. They have talked with scores of artists, writers, makers, performers, and other creatives about how they use their libraries and how their libraries can serve them even better. In this webinar, LAIP shares program and project ideas, resources and case studies to turn your library into a creativity incubator. Take the workable, scalable programming and resource framework from LAIP and become a hub for supporting creatives of all types and skill levels in your community.

Presented by: Laura Damon-Moore, Co-founder and Editor, Library as Incubator Project, and Community Engagement Librarian, Madison Public Library
