Program Description

Event Details

 

Learn how to engage with your community more effectively and build services that make patrons feel valued, welcomed, and heard. 

 

Unite your marketing and outreach functions to better identify your patrons’ needs, develop programs and services that fill those needs, and create communications strategies that ensure your community is aware of your offerings.

You’ll learn how to assess who you’re not reaching with communications and services, and establish a strategy to connect with them through traditional and alternative channels, including innovative outreach and mobile programs, partnerships, PR, and more. You will learn to develop effective feedback mechanisms with clear metrics to ensure your library’s outreach and engagement efforts are data-driven. For libraries with limited budgets and staff, we’ll brainstorm low-cost, creative ways to boost engagement with limited resources. Don’t miss this opportunity to increase your community engagement!
 

The transformational speaker program has given thousands of librarians the tools and vision for meaningful change. The live sessions run on Thursday, Mar. 23 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PST (recorded for on-demand viewing) with an ongoing facilitator-led workshop over 3 weeks. Don’t miss this opportunity!
