Training Approaches Are Shifting
Church Library Ministry is well known among ministries for the strong history of a variety of training events through the years. While many ministries have given up on providing training for church leaders due to lack of funding, librarians have figured out how to continue to provide training opportunities. Even though some church library associations have faded away, we do continue to have a few groups that continue to host training events. We have fewer conferences on our CLN Events page than we did when we started the CLN in 2020. Let’s share what is happening these days as approaches to training librarians are shifting to new formats. Click here.
