Your POWER Library support team offers a variety of ways for library staff to receive training on all of the services offered through POWER Library. One of those is the annual POWER Library training offerings scheduled throughout the Commonwealth every fall. This is a full day of concurrent sessions with offerings on POWER Library resources for staff of all levels and library types.
An announcement of the Fall 2026 POWER Library training schedule and save the date will be released in early summer 2026.
We can't wait to see you!
Check out what library staff participants thought about last year's POWER Library training event!
"I attend the POWER Library training annually - it is always relevant, productive & informative. I appreciate that this training is offered - please continue to offer this!"
"I am continuously impressed by the quality of training provided by HSLC staff. The sessions are engaging, keep your attention, and the environment is welcoming. I attend to get new ideas for how to teach these resources as well as to learn tricks for using them."
"I have a number of new employees that did not have a very good understanding of Power Library. They now feel empowered to recommend Power Library and many specific databases to our patrons and to answer questions correctly."
