We spend up to a third of our time at work in meetings. Unfortunately, much of that time is spent watching the clock and thinking that this meeting could have been an email. This webinar will equip you with a toolkit of tips and tricks to transform your library meetings from “have-to” to “get-to” events. You will leave with practical strategies to make your meetings more engaging, productive, and (actually!) enjoyable.

Library Customer Service and Adult Programs for People Living with Dementia (WebJunction)
With more than 55 million people worldwide living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and many more serving as their caregivers, it’s essential for library staff to learn how to support these community members. This webinar will offer a comprehensive overview of Alzheimer’s dementia and practical advice on meeting the needs of both those with dementia and their caregivers. We’ll cover best practices, guidelines, and actionable ideas for creating dementia-friendly services, including compassionate customer service, specialized reference resources, and engaging programming. By focusing on lifelong learning, mental stimulation, and social connections, libraries can make a meaningful difference for those experiencing cognitive decline and their caregivers.
Time: 1 hour
Strengthening Your Communication Skills (Niche Academy)
Communication skills are some of the most important skills that you need to develop to be successful in the workplace and in life. We are constantly communicating! We talk to people face to face, and we listen when people talk to us. We write emails and reports, and we read the documents that are sent to us. Communication, therefore, is a process that involves at least two people – a sender and a receiver. For it to be successful, the receiver must understand the message in the way that the sender intended. Join Andrew Sanderbeck for this interactive and informative program and leave with takeaway tips and techniques you can use at work, at home or wherever you go!
Time: 1 hour
