The Massachusetts Library System is pleased to announce that we have contracted with PCI Webinars to provide our members with access to their live webinars.  These webinars are free to MLS members who register through our calendar. Please do not register directly with PCI. Members who register directly with PCI are responsible for paying their registration fee. 

Please help us keep MLS sponsored training free for all members. If you are unable to attend the live webinar, please cancel your registration. A cancellation link can be found in your confirmation email, or you may contact Sarah Donnelly at sdonnelly@masslibsystem.org to cancel. 

Because we are working with an outside vendor, it is important that you cancel your registration in the event that you are unable to attend the live webinar.  A recording of the webinar will be available on the PCI Webinars Niche Academy website about a week after the live webinar.  If you have any issues registering or signing into the PCI Webinars Niche Academy website, please let us know.  Please do not contact PCI Webinars or Niche Academy directly about their live webinars or webinar recordings.

Description

Every community is home to authors. Whether independently or traditionally published, authors are out there wanting to connect with you. In this webinar, we’ll explore the relationship between authors and librarians, including the unique ways each group is attracted to books and how to use those attractions to work together.

Participants will also receive a free copy of Cari’s short ebook, THE LIBRARIAN’S GUIDE TO AUTHORS.

Learning Outcomes

As a result of this program, attendees will:

• Learn about marketing and promotion challenges for authors and how to help
• How to work with authors who approach the library
• How they can support authors and create a mutually beneficial relationship

Presenter

Cari Dubiel is the Assistant Director at Twinsburg Public Library. She brings many years of experience to both her author and library careers. Leveraging her unique perspective, Cari speaks to both authors and librarians about the ways they can partner with each other. She has written both THE LIBRARIAN’S GUIDE TO AUTHORS and THE AUTHOR’S GUIDE TO LIBRARIES.
