Youth Services Regional Learning Community Workshops – Paonia Library (Delta County Libraries)

Join Kate Brunner and Kate Compton to connect and explore a variety of youth services-related topics with your regional colleagues. Once again, we’re inviting you to help us create the agenda based on your own curiosity and community needs. When you register, you’ll be asked to drag, drop, and rank a fresh list of potential topics by interest. We’ll prepare a unique program for your workshop incorporating participants’ highest ranked topics.

All events are in-person, full-day learning opportunities and lunch will be provided for all participants.

These workshops and all of the Colorado State Library’s youth services offerings are created by the librarians of the Youth & Family Services team. Our staff positions and operating expenses are paid for by Grants to States funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services which allows us to provide opportunities like this one at no cost to you or your libraries.

Below are the dates, locations, and registration links for all five workshops. Please note – start/end times and seats available vary by location. Be sure to read the information at the top of the registration forms for those specific details.
