What inspires you, what are you doing now, and what do you imagine the future of libraries will be like? In other words, what creative things (workflows, strategic plans, programs, services, user experiences, workplaces, patron spaces, management styles, and/or outreach opportunities) are you imagining, are inspired by, or are already doing that you see as having value or being able to withstand changes to library ideals or practices? We invite you to share with us how you perceive and participate in creativity for the betterment of your library or patrons.</div><div style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Some examples:</div><ul style="font-size: 13.63636302947998px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><li style="margin-left: 15px;">Sparking patron interest and creativity with makerpsaces</li><li style="margin-left: 15px;">Inspired collection develop strategies</li><li style="margin-left: 15px;">Thinking about outreach services/programs in a different way</li><li style="margin-left: 15px;">Professional development opportunities for support staff</li><li style="margin-left: 15px;">Programs or opportunities for training student workers</li><li style="margin-left: 15px;">Different perspectives on librarianship</li><li style="margin-left: 15px;">Facing failure</li></ul></div> </div></body>
