The Massachusetts Library System is pleased to announce that we have partnered with LibraryWorks to provide our members with access to their webinars.  These webinars are free to Massachusetts library workers who register through our calendar. 

Learn valuable tools and principles to help you produce awesome designs for social media, flyers, and other media for library programs and services. This webinar is for librarians and library staff of any type that are involved in programming and services or promoting your library. If you run programs, then that means you create the hand-outs, the flyers, the social media. A hands-on approach lets you learn practical and invaluable skills that helps you develop design skills.

From this webinar, you will:
•    develop an understanding of the elements and principles of design,
•    translate these principles to creating a design, and
•    train your eye to recognize a good from a bad design, using basic and free tools.
