<p><span style="font-size:13.0pt">Do you lead meetings at your library? Do you facilitate conversations between staff or patrons and wish you had more training in how to do so effectively? Ever feel ill equipped to handle situations of conflict in a meeting
or guide groups to agreement?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p>MCLS will, in partnership with the Library of Michigan, be providing four more training sessions this September, presented by We Can Work It Out, LLC on essential skills for Michigan library staff to facilitate effective conversations and meetings. The workshops,
to be held over Zoom again this year for your safety and convenience, will include learning theory, as well as practice of skills and peer feedback, and will include information on facilitating meetings virtually. Because they are heavily subsidized by the
Library of Michigan, these workshops are only open to staff of Michigan libraries. A more detailed description of the workshop, along with prerequisite requirements, can be found here:
