[cid:image008.jpg@01D811CF.B97FE9E0] [cid:image009.jpg@01D811CF.B97FE9E0] "The Applied Foresight Accelerator will introduce you to the tools to create that future you have been talking about. Now stop talking about it." - The Futures School Participant Apply for the Next Cohort! Midwest Cohort* | July 12-14 (ET) Application due: Tuesday, June 7 Submit Application<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flibguides…> *Please note, anyone can apply to this cohort regardless of geographic region as well as for any remaining cohorts (view all cohorts<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flibguides…>). Built on a vision of developing learning experiences that help you to be "fueled by foresight" in all that you do - Transformation for Libraries: The Futures School is a unique training program presented in partnership with the CT State Library Division of Library Development and Kedge: The Futures School<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefuture…> (TFS). It emerged from a growing realization among leaders and organizations that success in the 21st century landscape of rapid change means we must embrace new pathways to the future. In other words, we need to foster mindsets and skills that help us to seize untapped possibilities and opportunities. Strategic foresight is a framework that creates multiple future scenarios, envisioning outcomes and evaluating current and pending strategies to support decision making and action in the present against a suite of possible futures. Participants will work with a library-specific focal issue to produce multiple scenarios for libraries 10-15 years in the future. Library staff will develop the skills to identify and capitalize on emerging trends, weak signals, and changing patterns through tangible models and reusable templates that allow them to apply their learnings immediately. You are invited to participate in this IMLS grant funded project. With tangible results and a repeatable framework, you'll be on your way to developing a foresight mindset and skillset, ensuring you are primed for market-leading innovation, successful opportunity development, and future-proofing intelligence. Ultimately, you will learn a strategic framework that enables you to continuously learn-unlearn-relearn to lead discussion and action in the transformation of libraries.

Looking for a book
by Jan Gillis 24 May '22

24 May '22

Thank you in advance to all you helpful librarians out there! I have a patron looking for a book they read in highschool around 2016-2017 so it was published at least 5 years ago. It was part of an english class and they can't remember the author or the title. They do not remember if it was a memoir or fiction. The story is about an introverted teen boy who cares for his disabled father. He starts attending group therapy at school but one of the kids in the group reports him to CPS and the boy ends up in foster care. The patron thinks the cover was mostly black with white writing and some color or a picture. That's all I have. Any help in identifying the book would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- Jan Gillis Reference Desk Assistant Marguerite deAngeli Library 810-664-6971
