Message from Bonnie Young, Public Library Advisor, Office of Commonwealth Libraries, Bureau of Library Development (boyoung@state.pa.us)
Sometime after each Soaring to Excellence teleconference is over, I receive a video of the program from the College of DuPage. Currently, in my office I have two videos: "Google and Your Patrons," and "Always a River, Sometimes a Library."
Should you ever want to plan a continuing education opportunity using one of these, just let me know. You may borrow a video (I will mail it) if you will mail it back to me when your program is over.
