Professional Development and Continuing Education: Overview

How we can help with your professional development:

• Dozens of continuing education workshops and webinars offered every year--most of them free.
• Thousands of professional development books, which you can borrow from the service centers for 90 days. Search for them in the Service Center Catalog or call us at 860-704-2200.
• Seven consultants available for training or advice.

If you need to work on your knowledge or skills in any area, be sure to tell us--we can create a workshop or provide the literature you need to build strength in those areas.

Continuing Education workshops and the professional development collection are funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Connecticut State Library.
