As libraries continue to consider how they will remain effective third places over the coming decades, they will also need to react to the shifting demographics within their communities. Each decision a library makes influences their ability to engage a more diverse audience. This session will provide a dynamic discussion around the concept of inclusive placemaking, ranging from ADA regulations to behavioral economics, in order to promote the importance of an accessible library for all.

Director Searches & Evaluations: Tips & Tricks from Two Veterans
Join us as long-time library leaders Jim Deiters and Alex Todd share insights from their years of experiences on the front lines. For the past few years - in addition to their "day jobs" as public library administrators - Jim and Alex have been assisting libraries across the state with director searches, budget workshops, and trustee orientations. Join them for an hour and a half as they pass along what they have gleaned from life in the stacks. There will be time set aside for Q&A at the end of their presentation.
