As of May 2024, the Arkansas State Library is no longer supporting new course requests for Library Juice Academy. Courses will continue to be supported only for those individuals who are already in the process of completing a certificate program in Library Leadership & Management, Library Support Staff Certification, or Early Childhood Literacy. Those individuals may reach out directly to Janine Miller to request course access.
In November 2021, the Arkansas State Library expanded our Continuing Education program to support courses taken through Library Juice Academy (LJA) by Arkansas library workers using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Library Relief funds. LJA courses allowed library workers an opportunity to develop new skills and increase professional knowledge during the height of the pandemic.
The Arkansas State Library continues to support weekly webinars provided by People Connect Institute (PCI). All library workers in the state of Arkansas have access to PCI’s live webinars held on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. Additionally, all library workers in the state of Arkansas have on demand access to the entire archive of PCI webinars.
