Program Change

Filed under: Uncategorized — editor @ 4:14 pm

The committee learned after the brochure went to press that one of our presenters, Miriam Pollack, regretfully is unable to present “Library Service in Context: Keeping up With Trends” scheduled for the 10:30-11:30 time slot. Some quick maneuvering from Miriam brings a replacement.

When Rules Get in the Way: Transforming Your Library
Anna Yackle, Public Library Liaison, North Suburban Library System, and Sharon Ball, Grants Coordinator & School/Youth Liaison, North Suburban Library System
Do your library’s rules and procedures get in the way of customer service? Transforming your library by one yes at a time is the solution. The presenters will discuss how West Palm Beach and other libraries have changed their culture and made their libraries a place people want to come to for a sense of community and as a “third space.” Speakers will even share some simple marketing strategies to help you share the word about your library’s makeover.

If you are interested in attending this program, just register for “Library Service in Context.” You will actually be attending “When Rules Get in the Way.”
