Want to learn more? We offer an onboarding webinar and a refresher webinar at the beginning of every school year to inform you about YRL services and support, ensure your information 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, the YRL newsletter. This information is also available on the YRL website in the Events calendar. Subscribe to our newsletter today!
YRL also offers an annual New Library Personnel Workshop. This orientation session is a must for all new staff, especially those new to library management or in need of 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 the annual autumn conference, Stronger Together, which provides attendees with a deeper learning experience through informative presentations and networking opportunities. Future conference details can be found on:
