ALL THE DETAILS

This unconference is a peer-driven, virtual collaboration where the expertise is in the room and the agenda is made by the people in it. Public library workers focused on adult programming and engagement will come together to share what's working, dissect what isn't, and have the honest, practical conversations that formal conferences rarely make space for. This event prioritizes and makes space for the collective knowledge of practitioners who are doing the work every day. Come ready to share, come ready to listen, and come ready to leave with more ideas than you arrived with.

ON-DEMAND ACCESS

All live guest speaker sessions are recorded and available on demand for six months following the initial broadcast as part of your purchase.
