The library is often the first place people come to when they need help. Library staff at all service points need to have the right tools and knowledge to help patrons find the answers they need.

Join us next week at the Middletown Library Service Center for two important workshops addressing the needs of some of our most vulnerable patrons.

Court Services and Legal Reference for Librarians Learn how to conduct a legal reference interview to understand your patron’s needs, and where to find the information and resources that will help them.
Presenters: Krista Hess and Christopher Roy from the State of Connecticut Judicial Branch
Date/Time: Thursday, October 29, at 9:00 am

Working with Patrons with Mental Health Conditions Learn how to effectively serve and communicate with library patrons that may be exhibiting signs of a mental health condition. Learn to recognize the symptoms of mental illness, and learn some strategies for working with these unique patrons.
Date/Time: Friday, October 30, at 9:00am
