Webinar: Adult Learning in the Library

Originally presented April 24, 2019

In this free one-hour webinar, Jessica Curtis will cover the basics of adult learning theory and demonstrate how it can be used to improve library programs, classes, and services to the public.

More and more libraries are interacting with adult customers in an instructive capacity. They're providing help with digital devices, offering software classes, and teaching people how to use databases, just to name a few examples.

The adult learner has specific needs and interests that greatly influence how they both view and benefit from library classes, programs, and passive instruction efforts.Jessica will draw from the very best available research on adult learning as well as her own extensive experience to present ideas you can use right away to enhance your own instruction.
