Registration is open for the New York Library Association (NYLA) Annual Conference. The conference will take place from Wednesday, November 1st through Saturday, November 4th at the Saratoga Springs City Center in Saratoga Springs.
This year’s theme, "Revive, Refresh, Rekindle - Reclaim Your Spark" is focused on coming back to our purpose of why we joined the librarian profession.
Mid-Hudson Library System staff and its members will be sharing their knowledge and experience.
Millbrook Library Director, Courtney Tsahalis will present Rethinking Summer Reading.
The Summer Reading Program was originally created to promote literacy and education but now can be a source of stress and burnout. How can we ensure this program makes a meaningful impact on our communities? This presentation will provide an overview of summer reading research and trends and help library staff re-focus on how to set kids up for future success using real-world examples.
Patterson Library Director, Stephanie Harrison and Kingston Library Assistant Director, Addie Smock join a panel of presenters to discuss, Tool Library: Building Community.
Learn from librarians who have answered the call and made basic tools a part of their circulating collections. Discover how the services of loaning out tools and other equipment or running a Library of Local can improve your community as well as the library's value. Expand your community outreach & empower folks to participate in the change they want to see — one hammer at a time.
MHLS Executive Director, Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, will join a panel of presenters for Practical Approaches to Sustainability in Libraries.
As library stakeholders consider how their library can both lead by example and co-create communities that will thrive in the face of climate change, the Sustainable Libraries Initiative can help. This is not just a workshop about "going green." This session will use resources and real-life examples to help libraries use the "triple bottom line" approach to sustainability which asks people in all positions in a library to consider how choices - large and small - impact not only the bottom line but also the environment and social equity issues.
