Dear Public Libraries:

Our regional libraries need your help in planning for future training needs! Please complete the survey found at

Just post the URL into your browser and follow the easy instructions. Note that we would like for directors as well as staff to participate. We welcome all individual responses!

The results of this survey will be shared with many different providers of continuing education for library staff at our first ever statewide Continuing Education Summit to be held in mid-February. Representatives from many different types of libraries and library support organizations in Tennessee and the Southeast will be in attendance. This is your chance to be heard! Please fill out the survey, and tell us what your CE needs are for the next three to five years.

We need your input! The deadline for your response is January 31, 2008. Your response will make a difference in the quality of training we provide in Tennessee.

Thanks,
Jane Pinkston
