Basic Library Techniques

Basic Library Techniques (BLT) are a group of four special training courses designed for public library directors in communities with a population of less than 10,000 who do not have a Master of Library Science degree. The courses are a requirement of the State Aid to Public Libraries program. The schedule and locations for BLT courses are maintained by the Western Massachusetts Regional Library System.
