Please read the following communication by request of Shannon M. Schultz, Public Library Administration Consultant for the Division for Libraries & Technology, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction - on behalf of Kathy Koch, the incoming CE chair of the Midwest Chapter of the MLA:
Libraries as Recovery Centers: A Free CE Opportunity from the GMR
 
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine Greater Midwest Region (NNLM GMR) and Midwest Chapter of the Medical Library Association (Midwest Chapter/MLA) have joined together to provide an opportunity for local public librarians, first responders, or public health professionals to attend free training in the field of disaster information and planning at the Midwest Chapter/MLA Annual Meeting in Milwaukee, WI, on October 5, 2019. By attending both the morning and afternoon sessions and working independently to complete the free online required courses, participants will be eligible to earn the MLA Disaster Information Specialist designation, sponsored by the GMR.
 
These courses support libraries as recovery centers in their communities. In the morning session, you will learn how your organization can play an important role in making your community more resilient to disasters such as floods, tornadoes, civil unrest, and extreme temperatures. Participants in the afternoon session will develop a disaster response plan with specific actions to put the plan into practice. Attendees are not required to be members of Midwest Chapter/MLA and may attend either or both sessions.
 
The registration fee for one or both of the in-person disaster preparedness classes at Midwest Chapter/ MLA 2019 will be provided by the GMR on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to local public librarians, first responders, or public health professionals. Only the cost of the sessions for eligible participants will be sponsored - not registration for the conference or travel/lodging costs. Applications must be received by August 30, 2019.
 
For more information and to apply, visit the GMR webpage.
