In 2017-18, consultants from the State Library are traveling to several regions of the state for CSL Share & Learn, an event that combines professional development with time to share with colleagues. This free event is perfect for anyone working in libraries and cultural heritage organizations. The next CSL Share & Learn will be at Farr Regional Library in Greeley on December 8, 2017. We hope you’ll join us!
What can you expect at CSL Share & Learn?
We designed CSL Share & Learn to be an interactive, fun day that combines hands-on learning with time to “talk shop” in small and large groups. It also includes the opportunity to discuss library issues with State Librarian Gene Hainer.
