We invite you to join MCLS staff for the next dialogue and discussion in our weekly series of conversations around the environment we find ourselves working in right now and what opportunities might exist as we
move forward. This week we continue to discuss and co-create the post-pandemic library world. The top images of the preferred post-pandemic library future from last week’s discussion are:
-
Libraries deemed MOST ESSENTIAL institution in the country
-
Places to re-connect = libraries
-
Serving the underserved with new vigor
-
Taking the library out of the building
-
Library saves the day with remote patron services
-
Great community collaborators providing convenient services and leading in safe practices
-
Reinventing traditional services to meet the needs of today’s worlds
-
Continue to remove barriers to service and keep those changes in place
-
Library supports “life-essential” activities
Part support group, part visioning, let’s share our thoughts and ideas as we delve deeper into these images of our preferred future. Join us this week on Friday, April 17 at 11:00 EDT (10:00 am CDT) on Zoom. Please
login using this link for the Virtual Dialogue.
You can view the recordings and chat logs from the previous dialogues by visiting https://www.mcls.org/training-events/presentation-slides/.
We look forward to seeing you Friday!
