How much does it cost?: This virtual conference event is FREE for staff and invited guests of the Capital Area Library District. We'll be watching it together as a group in the training lab.
Will I get CE Credits?: Attendees can report 5 hours of CE credits for attending this day. If you can't attend the whole day, feel free to drop by the classroom at any time to join the discussion. You'll get CE credits for active time spent in class.
Will you feed me?: Brown Bags are encouraged; bring your own lunch or choose to bring a snack to share. Courtesy of CADM, there is water, coffee, and a very small place to keep foods refrigerated for the day as needed. District budget uncertainty means we won't have a formal meal provided, but I'll trade half my peanut butter sandwhich for half of your tuna sandwhich. :) lol
