Regional Workshops

We’re coming to you!

The NC LIVE team and special guests will be visiting a library near you this spring! Join us at an NC LIVE Regional Workshop to learn about NC LIVE, network with peers, and gain transferable skills to take back to your community. While much is similar to past years (still free, still includes lunch!), this year we've added Skills-Based Training to our lineup.

Note: if you're a staff member at an NC LIVE member library the workshop is free! All other interested parties will be asked to pay a small registration fee.

RESOURCE TRAINING 

Whether you’re staffing a reference desk, teaching information literacy classes, promoting library resources, or managing electronic databases, it’s important to know the ins and outs of your NC LIVE resources to help your communities succeed. In the Resource Training Track, you’ll get hands-on training with NC LIVE resources from the experts. The registration form will ask you to rank the resources/services you’d most like to learn about at the workshop, so each agenda is catered to that day’s attendees. We’ll explore content, navigate databases, and brainstorm ways to use them in your communities. 

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 

Finding the time and funding to develop your leadership skills can be challenging. That’s why NC LIVE offers a free Leadership Development workshop series this spring. Guest facilitators will share their knowledge on specific leadership competencies through active learning exercises that will give you an opportunity to experience and learn to navigate common leadership challenges. Some of the competencies we will cover include:

• leading organizational change
• managing conflict
• finding talent
• developing strategy
• navigating workplace politics

Whether you are in a leadership position already, or aspire to be, consider registering for an upcoming NC LIVE regional workshop. Is there a local library leader that you'd like to suggest as a session facilitator? Send a message to help@nclive.org. 

SKILLS-BASED TRAINING

Develop the skills you need to thrive at your library and advance your career. Led by regional librarians, participants will get hands on practice with important skills such as: instruction, event planning, time management, and more! Have an idea for skills-based training? Email help@nclive.org.
