Service Design Techniques for Responsive Libraries<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webjunction.org%2Fevents%2Fwebjunction%2Fwho-are-we-designing-for-and-why.html&data=04%7C01%7Cwhites29%40michigan.gov%7C9ad9b1eae5c149cf056508d8b7e0f623%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637461524122673072%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=VuBvCFUfzSM1G6RScZuRWdoBbmBiNZv0LxiSO6DOToQ%3D&reserved=0> (recording available), the presenters met with three case study libraries: Altadena Library District, Pierce County Library System, and Prince George's County Memorial Library System. The case study participants will share how they took learned design techniques to brainstorm future services for their communities. The goal is to demonstrate concepts and relevant applications to help envision how you might improve your library's capacity to bring joy, vibrancy, learning experiences, and innovative opportunities to the community!

The case study libraries are applying service design techniques to create meaningful outdoor experiences, and integrating service design into staffing models. Whether you are a library with a small, medium, or large staff, through this session, you will learn how collaboration, creativity, and innovation can be integrated into your daily operations.
This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
