Bibliostat Webinars

In recognition of public libraries’ tighter budgets and even less allocated for travel, WVLC will be presenting its Bibliostat training through two webinars filled with useful, how–to information for completing the annual report. Attendance at one of the workshops is strongly recommended for all new library directors and it will be very useful even for those who have been through the Bibliostat process before. A computer with a phone nearby is all that is needed for the webinar.


Librarians should make plans to participate in one of two webinars, the first scheduled for Thursday, June 17th and the second scheduled for Wednesday, July 7th. Each workshop will begin at 9 a.m. and will last approximately one hour. Advance registration is required. Please contact Sharon White for webinar login information no less than three days prior to the scheduled event.
