Become a CT State Library for the Blind Hub Library

Become a CT State Library for the Blind Hub Library

The Connecticut State Library for the Blind (LBPH) seeks to partner with public libraries across Connecticut to establish up to six LBPH “hub” libraries.  Join LBPH Director, Matt Geeza, in this virtual webinar to learn about the CT State Library’s vision for the LBPH regional hub libraries.  Webinar attendees will learn about LBPH services and resources, how serving as a LBPH hub library will benefit local patrons of the host libraries, and how the CT State Library will support the hub libraries and their staff.  There will be a presentation as well as time for Q & A.

This webinar is perfect for libraries interested in serving as a hub library for LBPH, including Library Directors and Administrators, Librarians, and Library Board members. 

This webinar is not being recorded though the presentation slides will be shared with attendees in an email following the presentation.
