Continuing Education

The Continuing Education program strengthens Iowa libraries through professional instruction. All members of the library team (directors, staff, and trustees) gain and develop skills to provide the best possible service to their customers and communities.

Continuing Education offerings are a key part of the Endorsement program. Participating directors and staff earn continuing education hours to maintain their endorsement.
