Upcoming Live Training

Retention of Minority Librarians – Panel Presentation Webinar — Friday, September 18, 2020 – 2:00p EST

• • Libraries try to be warm and welcoming places for everyone, but librarianship isn’t warm and welcoming to everyone who works in libraries.  For decades, many initiatives have focused on the retention of minority/under-represented populations, but what happens when we get in?  And what is necessary to get us to stay?  Presenters will share their experiences on how they have been retained in the profession and share resources for administrations, minority librarians, and more on proven retention strategies.
  • Flyer  |  Speakers Full Bios  |  Registration closed on 9.16
  • Access information to be sent to registrants the day before the event
