La Hora Virtual: How to Develop a Virtual Program to Promote Spanish Resources

To register for this webinar please follow this link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6916997074278/WN_AOTiSDmAT5yPPzPS4w_T9w. Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

This hour-and-a-half webinar will guide attendees on how to develop and implement a virtual program designed to promote Spanish resources at your library. Engage in interactive exercises that will help you draft your future virtual drop-in hour in español...step by step.

As a result of this program, attendees will learn how to:

• Address digital literacy from culturally competent frameworks.
• Increase the use of Spanish library resources and programs.
• Amplify community building through virtual interactions.

PCI Webinars are recorded and available to members of the Michigan library community in the Library of Michigan's Niche Staff Skills Academy about a week after they air. New webinars will be in the New category for several weeks. You do not need to register for a webinar in order to view it later in the Staff Skills Academy.
