**Notes:
This is a multi-day series held at alternately at two lcations.

Playing a support role in an organization offers many challenges, but also many opportunities for growth. The LSD is a new series inviting paraprofessionals and support staff to learn more about librarie as well as take an active approach to their own learning, growth and work satisfaction.

The curriculum focuses on three components: personal development, a deeper look at the foundation and function of libraries, and a critical look at the important role each employee plays in the library organization. Participants will meet for 5 1/2 days from March - July. The morning sessions of the first four days will be devoted to library topics while the afternoon sessions will be devoted to interpersonal growth. The fifth day will take a look at the future of libraries and how critical their role is in the library organization. A half day capstone session will culminate the series with a plan of action as participants look at their role in the library of the future.

Note: Registration is for all sessions. Sessions are at the CCPL - Administration Building (3/17, 4/14, 5/12, (6/9 is at Independence Branch of CCPL), 6/30, 7/14).
