[White, Shannon (MDE)]

Join the American Library Association (ALA) and The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation for a three-day training to help libraries lead positive change in their communities.

The ALA/Harwood Institute Public Innovators Lab for Libraries will be held this October 9-11 in St. Louis, MO.

Librarians, community partners and stakeholders in libraries of all types - public, academic, school and special libraries - are invited to attend.

Through discussions and hands-on activities, participants will learn to:


  *   Tap libraries' natural values to contribute to the greater good and bring communities together
  *   Surface people's shared aspirations for their communities and help bring them to life
  *   Convene and lead productive, insightful community conversations
  *   Become stewards of public knowledge

Participants must register online by Friday, Sept. 28. The cost is $995 per person, and team participation is encouraged.

The initiative addresses a critical need within the library field by developing and distributing new tools, resources and support for librarians to engage with their communities in new ways.
