The model enumerates training as an eligible expenditure of a public library’s directly received state aid funds, and within that umbrella should allow for the coverage of networking and continuing education opportunities. Additionally, with increased communication venues, such as web 2.0 applications (blogs, wikis, RSS, etc.), online training opportunities, continued CE offerings from the Library of Michigan, MLA, library schools in the state (U-M, WSU), MLC, and self-supporting cooperatives, in addition to regional and national opportunities, we see many options for support and networking for library staff.
