LIBRARY:
Place, Service, or Both?
SCRLC is delighted to
announce our new two-year workshop series, Library: Place, Service, or
Both? To assure continued relevancy and meet user needs, libraries must
rethink and transform many traditional spaces and services. As more information resources are in electronic form and more services are provided electronically, is the library as space still important? Users are still coming in the doors in droves - is it the collection, the coffee, the help they get that brings them?
Library: Place, Service, or
Both?
invites library staff to assess, identify, and implement strategies that will
serve their current and future patrons.
Subsequent workshops will focus on the specific services, spaces, and
staffing solutions that will meet both patron needs and those of the library.
Flexible spaces, effective remote services, outreach (human as well as online),
new funding streams, enhanced security solutions, and many other topics will
bring expert presenters and authors to the South Central Regional Library
Council area.
