What is Continuing Education? Continuing Education (CE), also called professional learning or professional development, refers to any kind of learning activity that encourages library professionals to expand their foundations of knowledge and stay up-to-date on new developments in their field.

Continuing Education helps all library professionals meet the ever-evolving needs of the communities they serve. Whether brand new to the profession, mid-career, senior management, support staff, trustee, or volunteer... there is always something new to learn in libraries!
