About the Theme: Productive Partnerships
Howdy, Partner! 2023 has been the year of “Productive Partnerships,” from the State Library of Iowa CE Team. The Learning Circuit this fall will give us one more chance to think about who our libraries might partner with as we serve our communities.
No two service areas are the same, so we’ll start our day learning about how we can discover and tap into those unique elements that make up our communities’ strengths with a “Community Asset Mapping” workshop. Later in the day, we’ll spend time fine-tuning our library networking pitch, so that wherever/whenever you run into a potential partner, you’re ready to go!
We will include some virtual follow-up workshops throughout the fall based on the Skills for Community Centered Libraries curriculum, so be sure to join us for this in-person kickoff and come learn how you can discover and engage new partners in your community.
As with 2022, we’ll have national experts Zoomed in to set up the topics for us, and your District Staff will be on hand to guide you through the hands-on workshop portions of the day.
More information on the event, including location addresses, an agenda for the day, and keynote bios, are available on the Learning Circuit webpage.
