<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Employees motivated to deliver top notch service are key to a library’s success. But many in library organizations don’t know how to effectively instigate employee motivation. As a critical management and
leadership skill, it’s important to know what motivation is and isn't, what works and what doesn’t. In this session, we’ll explore factors that influence motivation at work and review strategies for supervisors to keep their teams motivated and productive.
No matter the size of your library or your role, you will be inspired to find your own motivation and be able to catalyze others!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Earlier this year, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) launched a series of <a href="https://globalvision.ifla.org/">Global Vision</a> discussions to bring together
thousands of librarians around the world, through face-to-face and online interactive participation, to explore how a connected library field can meet the challenges of the future. IFLA believes that the challenges facing the library field from ever-increasing
globalization can only be met and overcome by an inclusive, global response from a united library field. By joining us for this webinar, you can participate in this global discussion to identify future challenges and opportunities facing the library field
and help to prioritize actions that a united and connected library field can take.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The <a href="http://arsl.info/">Association for Rural and Small Libraries</a>, in collaboration with WebJunction, invites rural and small libraries to join this highly interactive webinar discussion to voice
your opinions and contribute to shaping a unique and comprehensive IFLA Global Vision. In preparation, you may want to reflect on your work in the library field: Why do you think your work is important? How do you see your work in the future? You may also
refer to <a href="https://trends.ifla.org/">IFLA’s Trend Report</a> as well as other relevant publications about libraries and the trends and developments affecting them.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">As hubs of lifelong learning, public libraries are always seeking new strategies to cultivate 21st century skills in their community members. The deeper we move into this century, the more critical it becomes for people to hone skills
like communication, collaboration, critical thinking, global awareness and creativity. Your patrons can strengthen these skill sets while also having fun in a social setting — through playing tabletop games at the library. Learn about the wide array of games
available and the specific skill sets each one promotes. Hear how public librarians are using games and get new ideas for programming and game-related projects that you can do at your library. Your younger patrons will be ahead of the 21st century game in
no time.<o:p></o:p></p>
