The NH State Library continues providing basic library training for NH
library staff. While primarily designed for those without a library degree,
many of these training modules may be of great interest as refresher or
update training for librarians of great experience and education.
Some modules are designed to stand alone; others may be taken individually
or as part of a track to approximate the content of a full course in the
topic.
The cost for each student varies with the module - please be sure to check
the cost listed by each course. This program is self-supporting and this fee
pays for the instructors, the texts, printing, site fees, etc. Texts for
modules will be provided on a "book-bag" basis. They will be loaned to
enrolled students for the duration of the module.
