Numeracy + Information Literacy = Success
Speaker: Melissa Poremba, Grand Erie District School Board

We expertly use our libraries to support literacy skills development. Now let's use our same assets to support numeracy education! The library is the perfect place to curb "math anxiety" as we can show students that math is useful, interesting, relevant and even fun. Learn how to utilize your library's collections and services to integrate numeracy skills development in information literacy programming.

I’ve Got the Education, What Do I Do Now?

Many jobs within the library and information field are traditional, but others are not! Think outside the box to find new possibilities to pursue with traditional training programs.

What Makes a Special Library “Special”?
