 Continuing Education Conference Objectives

The Continuing Education Forum (CE Forum) is an annual event that brings together the Continuing Education Coordinators, other library development staff, and education colleagues to inspire and expand competencies in the library education community. 

CE Forum attendees are provided the opportunity to network and build important relationships while participating in sessions that help expand their current skills and increase their value to their state library agencies. 

State Reports

Let your state SHINE and highlight the GREAT WORK you and your teams have completed this year.

Evaluation

Following the event, we will engage in an evaluation process. Your feedback allows for the planning committee to evaluate the effectiveness of this education and provides additional discussion topics for our monthly meetings / 2027 CE Forum.
