We have switched the Spring Public Library Seminar class to a hybrid instructional approach. The class will meet at Shady Grove during its normally scheduled time (Mondays, 5:30PM-8:15PM) on the following dates: 

The course is intended for students pursuing careers in public libraries. The goals focuses on understanding public libraries in general, and more specifically on the nature and evolution of public libraries; how public libraries transform communities; the roles of public access technologies in building digitally inclusive communities; understanding the stakeholders and diverse populations with which public libraries interact; building 21st century public libraries; leadership; and skills to plan, develop, and evaluate public library programs.
