Networking

To ensure the highest quality support for learners and volunteers, and to enhance the professional standing of local literacy staff within their libraries and within the field, we must devise ways for local library literacy staff to improve their knowledge and skills. The tools and resources on this page are designed to provide access to as many high quality training and networking opportunities as possible.
