Continuing Education Sources
I have tried to list only sources that are freely available or have free options. If you are looking for formal education or are considering additional programs for your post-Master's education, check out the directory of ALA-accredited programs.
Additionally, check your local library association for free CE resources. Many state and regional associations offer free CE courses/webinars for members. If you have a chance to attend a library conference, whether ALA, state, district, etc., look for seminars, workshops, and programs that will offer CE credits for attending. Many will be included in the price of conference admission.
