Dear colleagues

It is my great pleasure to announce that the Arab Federation for Libraries and Information (AFLI) is the 2022 winner of the prestigious EBSCO Information Services Library Staff Development Award.

The Award is given to a library organization whose application demonstrates greatest merit for a program of staff development designed to further the goals and objectives of the library organization.

SEEDS (Staff E-training on Emerging technology & Developed Services) is the program that AFLI intends to implement, the program aims to strengthening the capacity of 30 public Arab librarians on emerging technology and innovation.

The Award will be presented to the Arab Federation for Libraries and Information on Sunday, June 26 during the ALA Annual Conference.

It is worth mentioning that many training programs provided by AFLI during the last few years tend to improve the occupational and personal knowledge and skills of librarians (public, school and academic). This comes from AFLI's strong belief that librarians are lifelong learners, and matches with its goal to support all efforts to promote the profession and Librarianship through training and workshops in order to develop librarians' knowledge and capabilities".
