Certification Classes
The Fall 2023 Public Library Academy Certification Classes are now available.
Classes are open to staff in public and tribal libraries.
All registrations will be processed online using Eventbrite. This system allows you to verify you are registered. There is a limit of 20 per class, and classes will not be held if less than 5 people register. You will be notified by e-mail if a class has been cancelled. If any classes are full, you will be able to place your name on a waiting list if you register with an email address.
