SEKLS Workshops
SEKLS offers workshops on a variety of library-related topics annually. Generally, about a dozen workshops per year are offered, some in multiple locations. There is no charge for attendance to staff and trustees from member libraries.
Continuing Education Credit
Participants can receive continuing education credit. School librarians from many districts can also use the workshops as credit toward recertification.
Continuing Education Grants
SEKLS provides a limited number of continuing education grants. The application forms for these and other grants can be found under the Grants page. The guidelines for these grants can be found here.
CE Implementation Project
Continuing Education Implementation Projects allow libraries to receive additional CE hours by putting into practice the knowledge they gain in SEKLS workshops. See the Extended CE Implementation Project Guidelines and the Proposal Form here. Also here is a Sample Budget Worksheet.
