September Professional Development Opportunities

Here are the September 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. 

More information about the organization can be found on the ILA/ACRL Website.
