I really enjoyed going to these seminars.  I attended  Working With Difficult People, From Co-Worker to Manager, Advanced Excel, Project Management and a few others.  For a flat price I could attend as many seminars as I wanted.  While I was at one seminar in Alexandria, LA, I met some library staff from the Rapides Parish Libraries.  We all agreed that most of the topics were relevant to the library world and they were all well presented with takeaways and certificates of participation at the end]]> 2019-04-08 02:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jthiele3/dch6cw09zj4y/wish/349339991 https://padlet.com/jthiele3/dch6cw09zj4y/wish/349341826 Mary Manning
