From: State Library of IowaKernels Relaunch!
Kernels is an ongoing series of prerecorded half-hour videos from the State Library. Each installment in the series offers an overview of a program, service, or library methodology applied in a public library setting. Kernels features in-practice librarians talking about what they're up to for other librarians to benefit and apply the ideas in their library.
The series has been on a bit of a hiatus lately, but we're excited to announce that three new Kernels have "popped!" Check each one out on our CE YouTube channel and click the link in the description to go to IA Learns for credit:
- Kernels! Library Support Team Success
- Kernels! Bookmobile Outreach
- Kernels! Unmuseuming Your Library
I personally love the way this series gets right to the heart of what goes on in Iowa's libraries. So much fun stuff going on out there. Is there something you want to feature as a Kernel at your library? Let me know! We'd love to feature your programs and services in a future episode.
Stay warm,
Sam Bouwers | CE Consultant
