Be a “community catalyst” with these future-focused conference resources
At this year’s OCLC Library Futures Conference, more than 200 community leaders, speakers, and OCLC staff gathered in Phoenix to share their learnings, insights, and innovations to help librarians lead their communities into the future. Presentations focused both on inspiring our attendees and providing hands-on ideas for programs and services that can transform the lives of the people and communities that libraries support. What role should the library of tomorrow play in your community? We invite you to view the conference insights below and share them with your staff and colleagues.
