How It Works

Three ways to learn

Pick the format that fits your bandwidth, your team, and your schedule, not the other way around.

Self-paced courses

Text-and-image lessons and downloadable worksheets, designed to work on a slow connection or a shared computer lab. Most courses run 1–6 hours.

Live sessions

Group webinars and 1:1 coaching calls, scheduled with regional time zones in mind, plus in-person workshops where travel is possible.

Consulting

Hands-on help with a specific project: an advocacy case, a systems migration, a funding proposal, scoped to your library's real constraints.

“Most library training assumes a budget, a bandwidth, and a staffing level that a lot of libraries across Africa and the Middle East simply don't have. The Librarian exists to close that gap.”
