We realize that an October event may not be on your radar, especially since
we are in the thick of summer, but we thought you'd like to get it on your
calendar now before your schedule gets too hectic. The third in the Library
2.016 series of three online mini-conferences is scheduled for Thursday,
October 6, 2016, from noon - 3 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (view your time

<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/library-2016-libraries-of-the-future-registrat
ion-22696079585>  while it is fresh on your mind. 

 

Once again, the conference schedule will include keynote sessions and
crowdsourced presentations. Presentation proposals are being accepted now
through September 15, 2016. Slots are limited and may fill before the
proposal deadline. View the call for proposals

Abstract: As libraries shape their futures and adapt to the future needs of
their communities, what are the near and long-term trends that point to our
brightest opportunities? How can libraries support our global communities?
Engage in conversations with civic, social and education innovators as they
share their visions for libraries of the future. This dialogue will help
bring our best thinking together.
