[Michlib-l] Registration Open: 2 free conferences on strengthening community communication and engagement: at LM 3/21 or online on 4/25

[Kristin Fontichiaro]

Dear Friends,

Since January 2024, the members of the Post-Pandemic Public Library cohorts
have been sharing, developing, and refining skills and insights about how
to better understand their communities’ wants and needs, work more closely
with community partner organizations and government officials, and
communicate library values effectively to others.

Now, in partnership with our partners at the Library of Michigan, we’re
ready to invite you to our two free upcoming Strong Connections, Strong
Communities conferences – one virtual, one face-to-face, each with unique
presenters and presentations – so we can share our knowledge with you.


We hope you’ll explore the two options here (you can attend both!), spread
the word, and register soon!
