Fall Training Tour
Is Complete! 
Thank you to everyone who joined us this fall as we traveled across the Commonwealth sharing new POWER Library e-resources, exciting updates, giving away tour t-shirts, and much more.  
 
New for this year was a live-streaming day via Zoom.
 
The POWER Library training team had a wonderful time seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and talking about all things POWER Library!
