Providing Professional Development Opportunities for Staff while Coping with Shrinking Resources
When library budgets shrink, often one of the first areas to be cut is the fund that supports travel and professional development for library staff. What can you do to continue to support your staff in times of budget cuts? How do you keep up morale when furloughs or layoffs are on the horizon? Share your ideas and thoughts on how to help staff get the professional development they desire? Find out how others are coping.
