Virtual etiquette workshop

Whether you are having a virtual meeting with your church group, garden club or grandkids, you can improve your online presence and etiquette and ultimately, create a better experience for everyone in the Zoom room.

Sandra Lane is a Certified Professional Organizer, productivity specialist and founder of Organization Lane. She has taken that experience and shares her message of time management, productivity and organization one-on-one as a productivity coach, and to groups as a virtual and in-person speaker.

The workshop will take place 7-8 p.m. Nov. 17. Register online or by calling the library.
