<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">For anyone who handles complex conversations and meetings in your library or community there are four opportunities to learn how better to handle conflict and come to agreement.
The registration fee is just $40 per person and includes lunch! These sessions are small and spots are very limited and available first-come, first-served, so register today!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">In partnership with the Library of Michigan (with funding provided in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services), MCLS will be offering four more trainings on facilitation
presented by <a href="http://www.wecanworkitoutllc.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0563C1">We Can Work It Out, LLC</span></a> this fall. The workshops will be on the topics of "Handling Conflict" and "Coming to Agreement," and will be hosted at
four libraries across Michigan. These trainings are open to all staff of Michigan libraries. They will be most fruitful for those who are working on community engagement projects for their library (such as Community Conversations), or who facilitate meetings,
group discussions, or events.<o:p></o:p></p>
