Enhancing community well-being through partnerships in education
SLC is a three-year training, technical assistance, and capacity building project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This unique project will contribute to library sector improvements throughout PREL’s service region. Enhanced awareness of, and access to, relevant resources will raise the quality and relevance of library services at all levels, and improved planning, management, and efficiency in the library sector will be fostered through the SLC project.
This three-year project will work with senior library staff who are enthusiastic about the opportunity to make a lasting difference through both mentoring and thoughtful succession planning, and newer library staff who will be introduced to library programming, advocacy, leadership skills, and other key training segments designed to build the capacity of the region’s libraries.
One-week SLC training workshops will be held in the following entities: Republic of Palau, Kosrae, Chuuk, Yap, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Pohnpei, American Samoa, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
