    Pitch Perfect: A Workshop for Librarians

    Are you a creative librarian who would benefit from some tips for engaging with community partners? Join the Entrepreneurship & Libraries Conference (ELC) on April 21st 3-4 EST for an exciting opportunity to learn practical skills on creating a compelling pitch designed to generate engagement, excitement, and maybe even funding! From content to delivery, this workshop focuses on what it takes to design an award-winning project pitch.
