Library Basic Training 09/22/2026 9:00 am - 2:30 pm Includes 1-hour non-duty lunch on your own
Hosted by LACOE Library Services, this workshop provides library technicians, clerks and other classified library paraprofessionals with the foundational knowledge needed to effectively support students, staff and library services in a school library setting.
We will be covering such topics as:
Library Standards Support
Collection Development
Library Environment
Reading and Research Support
Wellbeing through the School Library
and much more!
If you are new to providing library services, you are strongly encouraged to attend, but continuing library practitioners are more than welcome to join. Everyone will learn more about their important roles in the school library, and the library's importance to teachers and students.
