Colleague Connect Monthly Chats

Looking for an opportunity to meet virtually with librarians from across the state and share ideas you can use immediately?  Then this is what you are looking for! Once a month, Colleague Connect collaborators will be hosting a Zoom chat focused on a topic that can be implemented in all libraries, no matter the grade level. Starting in the summer of 2024, you can earn professional development points for attending. Join us at the next chat to learn more and get in on the fun!

As always, we are looking for volunteers who are willing to collaborate with your peers across the state. Interested in collaborating with another librarian one on one, sharing your time and expertise through monthly Zoom chats, or assisting in special events throughout the year?  Please fill out this form to join our growing list of collaborators.

 

Would you like to be paired up with another librarian, even if it is for a one-off question or just something more long term?  Please complete the request form and you will be contacted with more information.
