The library will be closed April 15 and 16, for staff training in Dodge City.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.  We will open Thursday, April 17, at 9:00 am.

The Southwest Kansas Library System, along with the Dodge City Public Library, the Dodge City Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Dodge City Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, is pleased to announce free admission to customer service training presentations, “Lead Through Your Service” and “Lead Through Your Customer”, that will encourage business leaders and employees to strive to create fantastic and memorable customer service. The presentations are open to businesses and service organizations throughout southwest Kansas and will be held at the United Wireless Conference Center in Dodge City.

Speaker J. Jeff Kober has focused on organizational transformation for the private, public, and nonprofit sectors for nearly 30 years.

Former clients include Federal Express, Office Depot, City of New York, and the Starwood Hotel brands of Westin, Sheraton, and St. Regis.  He will give two presentations on customer service at the United Wireless Convention Center on April 15th.
