Learning new things is exciting, and it is even more exciting when you know those things will help you provide better service to the folks in your community. And when you can get to do it for free? Even better! Check out the following opportunity:
As part of the Coding Initiative
in Wisconsin Public Libraries, the Public Library Development Team at the
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is proud to offer scholarships for
