Live online program3-week intensiveCustom manual

One cohort becomes your library’s AI trainers.

Instead of buying AI training one session at a time, build a group of champions who can teach the rest of your library, and later your community. They keep a customized manual to do it.

Part 4

Review & refresher

A review once your trainers have run their own sessions, plus a refresher as tools change.

What your champions learn

Seminars for understanding. Workshops for practice.

Three topics, each taught as a seminar and then practised hands-on, with an open office hour to rehearse.

Intro to AI

How the technology works, AI’s place in economic growth, and its benefits and risks for society.

AI literacy & practical use

Live demos across Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini, plus prompt engineering on real library tasks.

Data, privacy, AI law & ethics

Patron privacy, staying safe online, and ethical, responsible use in public service.

Built into every session

READ · CRAFT · SCAN

ENGR’s frameworks for researching with AI, writing strong prompts and checking every output before it reaches a patron. Your trainers teach colleagues the same language.

Yours to keep

A manual built for your library

Session guides and participant worksheets for each topic
An AI use toolkit with a prompt library and verification checklist
A one-page data safety guide for the service desk
Licensed to your library for internal staff training
