SMALL LIBRARIES UNCONFERENCE: SHARING OUR BAG OF TRICKS

Schedule:.
The Unconference will begin with coffee and cake from 9-9:30
From 9:30am to 10:30am, we will play Library Game Show. This is a chance for everyone to share problems and solutions…and have some fun. We’ll invite the audience to submit issues they struggle with. One at a time, we’ll randomly select an issue and give everyone a chance to propose a solution in one minute or less. Let’s see how much our brain trust can solve in just one hour.
Between 10:30 and 12, we’ll offer two sessions with two speakers each. The topics are:
- “Goldlilocks: Just Right for Small Spaces, Small Budgets” (programs)
- “Better with Friends” (community collaboration and outreach)
- “Beyond Pokemon: Getting Teens in Your Library” (YA programs)
- “How Could Such a Small Library Have Such Big Problems?” (facilities management/administrative challenges)
All of the panels will emphasize audience participation and sharing ideas.
We’ll conclude with an UnLunch from 12pm -1pm. This will be an open discussion for all attendees while we share lunch together.
