• CCBC Shorts, September 18 at 9 a.m.
  Join us for brief, timely tours through some of the newest and best in children’s and young adult literature. Librarians from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC) will be your guides for these monthly 30-minute sessions designed to give librarians a heads-up about selected brand new titles of note. We’ll also revisit some of the gems already in your library collections. Each month will feature a different topic or theme.
• It's a Trap!: How to Avoid Giving Legal Advice in Reference Services, September 19 at 10 a.m. 
   Librarians can be at the front lines of the legal system. Helping users to access legal information and resources can be complicated. Where is the line between research help and giving legal advice? How can you determine which sources are authoritative or up to date? This session gives examples and practical tips, including phrases you can use to manage your users’ expectations. Discover online sources for case law, statutes, and regulations, and understand how the Wisconsin State Law Library’s website and services can be used to optimize your legal reference services. 
• An Introduction to Talking Books, September 26 at 10 a.m.
   The Wisconsin Talking Book and Braille Library (WTBBL) is a network library of the Library of Congress National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. WTBBL provides braille and recorded books through the United States Postal Service for those Wisconsin residents who for any physical reason cannot read normal print or hold a book. Join Katie Malloy, Outreach Librarian, to learn more how your library can promote these services to your community.
