Surgeon General’s 2023 Advisory on Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation</a> brings even greater urgency to the need for us to connect. This engaging session will explore ways to intentionally design for social connection in library services and programs,
from passive to hosted. These innovative and practical strategies can deepen engagement with staff, trustees, local officials, volunteers, and community members of all ages and backgrounds. Through the lens of "social connector," we will explore how libraries
can invite the community in with intention, build relationships that enhance social infrastructure, put community at the center of the library, and demonstrate the library’s impact.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

with them, and keep relationships fresh and impactful, as well as how to tactfully step back from relationships that aren’t working the way you hoped they would. Finally, you’ll learn how to advocate for the time you need for this process.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
