Professional Development for Your Library
Teaching is a true passion of mine. Whatever your group's needs are, I am happy to adapt my content and style to fit your audience. There is much to learn for library staff at any level and I am able to present on a variety of topics concerning all age groups. For a list of workshops I have given in the past, check out the Presentations page.
If you are interested in booking a workshop, virtual training, keynote presentation, or want to find out more about specific training opportunities I can bring to your library, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!
