This session of the “Conference Virtual Reboot Series” will include closed captioning on Zoom, and the recording (available to participants for 3 months) on Vimeo will include a transcript.
Description: Over the past several years there have been more and more creation spaces opening in our BC libraries. Through short presentations and a panel discussion, see and hear how some of these spaces have been adjusting and responding to changing community interests, including supporting schools, professional training, and even staff projects. You will hear from both small and large public libraries who offer a variety of creation services and have made recent changes to expand their offerings, including Salt Spring Island Public Library, Okanagan Regional Library, West Vancouver Public Library, and Vancouver Public Library.
When: Wednesday, February 12, 2025: 2pm-3:15pm on Zoom
