Check in with SNAILS! Free Online Videos and Training
Since SNAILS began in 2013, we have hosted a variety of
knowledgeable guest speakers to provide training and learning for our members. What makes the SNAILS networking group unique is that we go the extra mile to record parts of our meeting and share them online to provide opportunities for professional development to those that can't be with us in person. You don't have to be a youth services librarian to learn something from these presentations--library staff from any type of library serving any age group can learn from these guest speakers.
Whether you weren't able to make the trip to one of our Illinois library meeting locations, or you're from out of state and want to see what you can apply to your own library community, we have something for everyone!
