Quick Summary
The Minnesota Libraries Learning Network (MLLN) invites library professionals, educators, and content creators to submit proposals for original, engaging, and practical training content designed to support the Minnesota library workforce. Whether you have a dynamic idea for a short, skill-building session or an in-depth, multi-module course, we want to hear from you!
About MLLN

MLLN is seeking training proposals in two formats:
- Quick Bites: Short (under one hour), asynchronous sessions introducing or addressing immediate topics of interest.

Your work will directly impact the quality of library services across Minnesota by strengthening the skills, confidence, and leadership abilities of our workforce. Note: If you are a library worker in the Metronet region, you can apply to Metronet for a support scholarship if your proposal is accepted.
