Mississippi Library Commission

The Mississippi Library Commission will conduct an intensive, in-residence workshop to serve the continuing education needs of mid-level staff employed in public libraries in Mississippi. Thirty candidates will be selected each year to attend the Librarianship 201 Institute, which will be held in Jackson and will cover topics in public library advocacy, management, ethics, and technology. Nationally recognized scholars and practitioners of library science will teach both theoretical and practical aspects. Participants will network with their peers to strengthen and establish bonds that enhance librarianship in isolated and rural communities.
