February 6th Education Event a Success in Norfolk

Roxanne Cox and Teri Hartman traveled to Norfolk, NE on February 6th to teach two sessions on Go Local Nebraska for the Northeast Library System Workshop. The morning session students included 16 library staff and 1 library trustee; the afternoon session students included 18 library staff and 2 library trustees. The CHIRS program and the Go Local Nebraska project were covered in each hour-long class, with live demonstrations of Go Local Nebraska resulting in enthusiastic praise from the students. "This information is worth the cost of the workshop.", and "This made the entire day worthwhile." were two of the student comments overheard by the instructors. Evaluations gathered from the students included the following comments: "Small libraries cannot keep up w/current medical issues and this is one area where I know they are given correct info." "A great reference for ANYONE! Thanks." "WOW. I didn’t know any of this was available. I’m much better able to help our patrons w/medical questions."
