Want to learn more? We offer onboarding and a refresher webinar at the beginning of every school year to inform you about YRL services and support, ensure the information you have is current, and answer any questions you may have. Additional training and events are available throughout the year. Notifications of upcoming events, training, and workshops are shared in YRL Weekly, our newsletter that comes out every Wednesday (subscription link here and under Communications on the Home Page), and you can also find this information on the YRL website in the Events calendar.
YRL also offers a New Library Personnel Workshop annually. This orientation session is a must for all new staff, especially those new to library management or those needing a refresher. It provides a comprehensive overview of our services and is a great opportunity to get acquainted with your new role.
YRL is also a partner in an annual autumn conference called Stronger Together, which engages attendees in a more profound learning experience with informative presentations and networking opportunities. Future conference details can be found on:
Make sure to check out our YouTube Page. Most live sessions are recorded and uploaded to our YouTube page, so you can watch any session when you can. YRL also has curated a Professional Development collection of books you can borrow with your TRAC Library card. Here is a short listing of some titles you can access, but the complete collection can be found here.
You can also email YRL any time to get details about training, workshops, events, and conference details at askyrl@yrl.ab.ca.
