<h2><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-weight:normal">Apologies for cross-posting. Please help spread the word!<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p>Due to the success of last year's workshops and back by popular demand, MCLS, in partnership with the Library of Michigan, will be offering six more trainings on facilitation presented by
<a href="http://www.wecanworkitoutllc.com/" target="_blank">We Can Work It Out, LLC</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Two dates in July will be offered for the Basic Facilitation workshop (repeats of the courses offered last year) and are available to new participants. Two Advanced Facilitation workshops, on the topics of, "Handling Conflict" and "Coming to Agreement,"
will be offered in Fall 2019. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The trainings will be open to staff of Michigan libraries, with a particular focus on those who have previously gone through
<a href="https://theharwoodinstitute.org/" target="_blank">The Harwood Institute</a> Public Innovators labs. They will be most fruitful for those who are working on community engagement projects for their library, or who facilitate group discussions and events.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Registration for the Basic workshops is now open! Registration for the Advanced workshops will open in the next few days. The workshops are small and spots are very limited, and available first-come, first-served.
<a href="https://store.mcls.org/index.php/special-programs.html">Register</a> today!<o:p></o:p></p>
