Learn how the Provo City Library makes children’s programs experiences instead of events. Watch a sample story time, learn about our “big” programs, and discover how we focus on the magic of a child’s experience.
In this pre-conference we'll explore together how using service design thinking can help us work with our communities to discover what's next. What's in the secret sauce? You'll pick up some hints, share experiences, and learn how to work shoulder-to-shoulder with your community to address needs. By doing so you can build support for your library, fill your programming space, and make meaningful and positive impacts in the communities you serve.
Director, Uintah County Library and Museum Services
I am interested in the mix of Libraries, Archives, and Museums and how we can build community bridges by working together with our professional cousins.
