Transforming libraries into confident communicators.
Workshops, templates, and practical tools for library teams.

What We Do

  • In Person Workshops

    Hands-on, practical workshops hosted at WorkIQ in Dublin. Designed for everyone working in libraries, whatever your role or experience level. Sessions cover library marketing, communications, design, and the practical skills that make a real difference to how your library is seen and valued.

  • Online Workshops

    Live, interactive online sessions you can join from anywhere. Practical by design; expect real demos, activities, and takeaways you can use immediately. Because great library communications shouldn't depend on your postcode.

  • Templates & Tools

    Ready-to-use Canva templates designed specifically for library teams: signage, display headers, social media assets, and more. Professional, adaptable, and built with libraries in mind by a librarian.

About me

👋 Hi, I’m Clare Conneally (she/her), the founder of Informed Learning. I’m a librarian from Dublin with over 10 years of experience working in libraries, primarily in higher education. With a background in Philosophy, I try to bring thoughtfulness and curiosity to everything I do.

Informed Learning has allowed me to combine some of what I love to work on most: teaching, design, and events.
