Yesterday, all of our CPRL staff gathered for our Professional Development Day, helping us to learn new skills and grow together as a team so that we can bring the best experience back to YOU! Staff had the chance to become more familiar with our extensive pool of digital resources, then dive into new interests, from 3D printing to book repair.

A big thanks to our regional director, Julie Cox, and assistant regional director, Jeanne Holmgren, for organizing such a wonderful day. Thank you to our Pamlico County Library staff for hosting, to all of our session presenters, and to our awesome tech staff who kept everything running smoothly. And a big thank you to our library patrons, who keep us motivated to keep learning and growing every single day!
