What do public libraries look like in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? Are you excited about the possibilities in the future or cringe at what is to come? Our libraries serve as hubs of ideation, creativity, and well-being. Staff will consider trends happening both in our libraries and communities today and how we might adjust our services, spaces, and resources for tomorrow.
After this workshop, participants will:
- Have a greater understanding of what a trend is and how they are identified
- Review 3-5 trends, where they came from, and how they can be linked
- Analyze the potential impact of trends and actions to be taken to guide in a positive direction
Duration: 90 minutes or 120 minutes
