Public Libraries and E-Government
Public libraries have seen an increase in patron requests for assistance using e-Government. The rapid increase in demand has librarians in a quandary of emotions trying to figure out how to help patrons and why us? This workshop will be an overview to answer the questions of “Why e-Government?” and “Why Libraries?” as well as a look at some e-Government resources. We will discuss lessons learned from the NEFLIN e-Government grant project. We will have an open discussion of what we are all doing to help patrons with e-Government.

Kids are Customers, Too
Excellent customer service is important in every area of the library - and even more important when dealing with children, tweens and teens - and their parents and caregivers. Learn how to present a positive attitude even when you are having a bad day. Practice listening and telephone skills in this interactive workshop. Learn about how to handle complaints, defuse angry and abusive customers, and react positively in any situation - even with internal customers. How you communicate with customers of various ages can be challenging but is also presents opportunities to create lifelong customers and library users and supporters.
