Library staff from all library types and roles are invited to a <b>Virtual Dialogue on Thursday, Sept. 19, 10:30 a.m. to noon Eastern (9:30-11 a.m. Central).</b> The MCLS Engagement, Consulting, and Training Team will guide a conversation about intentionality
in staff onboarding. </div>

This is NOT a webinar, but rather a chance to come together with other library staff from across our two-state region to share your strategies, insights, and experiences with each other.
<b>Please plan to have your microphone enabled and camera on to participate in the dialogue.</b></div>
