Follow up training for 1st phase libraries

As previously discussed, I will be doing some follow up training for the phase 1 sites and I am just confirming the dates I propose to deliver that training. The training should take approx 1½ hrs max depending on whether there is a substantial amount of feedback to be conveyed! The training consists of 3 sections:


• Why we are revisiting the sites

• Promotion of Self Service and dealing with the public

• New ways of working

Due to the limited number of staff that can be freed up at any one time I am hoping to get at least 3 sessions per site and will require a room with a PC available to deliver these sessions.

Chorley Library – Thursday 14th July

Burnley Library – Wednesday 20th July
