I can't speak for the others, but I've presented alongside the totally awesome Robin Nesbitt at Book Expo America. She will have good things to say.
The core mission of libraries – providing books for readers – is as relevant today as it was years ago. In fact, it’s what people overwhelmingly identify as THE reason for libraries. Formats might change, and library patrons might only visit the library virtually, but the library is still the place where readers go to find books.
Libraries should embrace this role in their communities
– and become “Centers for Readers.” But how?
This free webinarm oderated by Laurel Tarulli (Dalhousie U), with several librarians who are keeping readers at the
forefront of the library mission. Thursday, February 14, 2013, 2:00-3:00 PM ET
The panel will discuss:
- Shifts in how people are using the library
- Examples of successful library programs and services for readers
- Strategies and tools for engaging communities of readers
