October Professional Development Opportunities

Here are the October 2024 professional development opportunities both free and paid opportunities!

If you know of webinars, classes, conferences, publishing opportunities, etc. that would be of interest to fellow Iowa library folks, please pass it along to one of us on the ILA/ACRL Professional Development Committee. 

Learn more about our work on the ILA/ACRL Website.
