This week I am attending the ILA Annual Conference, virtually. Yesterday was day 1, and I think it went well. I was able to view some interesting and educational programs. Some about things I do all the time and some so that I can learn more about new issues-- just like I would have in person.
Today at 3pm central, it is my turn to present.
Below are the details including the program description and a link to the live slides.
Whether you can attend our live presentation or not, these slides will be very helpful as we made sure to add notes to assist as many people as possible.
Library Programming in Uncertain Times
Nothing, even a pandemic, stops library workers from providing the programming our communities crave! Three battle-tested librarians with almost 40 years of combined programming experience are ready to help you consider the new programming landscape. They will explain how to nimbly plan programming for patrons and continuing education workshops for staff. With real world examples, they will show how they have enhanced their programming options with partnerships, overcome technical hurdles, and engaged a wide variety of audiences. Most importantly, they will discuss the elephant (and opportunity!) in the room: once the pandemic is over, libraries cannot let go of our virtual programming. Let them share their successes and failures to guide you in providing library programming in any environment.
Presenters:
| Speaker: Ms. Jez Layman, Adult & Teen Programming Coordinator, Elmhurst Public Library, Elmhurst, IL |
| Speaker: Mrs. Becky Spratford, Reader’s Advisory Specialist, RA for All, La Grange, IL |
| Speaker: Karen Toonen, Collection Development Librarian, Naperville Public Library, Naperville, IL |
