In the evolving digital era, public libraries are at the vanguard of technological and societal change. Our panel, "Tech, Trends, and Teens at the Public Library... Oh My!" delves deep into the confluence of innovative technology, current trends, and teen engagement within the library realm. We'll journey through the digital revolution of e-books, VR, and AI-powered services, explore the latest library trends, and uncover strategies that make libraries resonate with teens. Alongside, we'll discuss the challenges and triumphs of integrating tech and ensuring libraries' relevance in a diverse, post-pandemic world.
The Day The Music Died (Click Title to Register)
We've seen the news stories. We've heard all about how the music CD is a dying media, going the way of the VHS. But is this true, especially for public libraries? What does circulation look like for these music discs at public libraries in Nassau and Suffolk? What is the viability of physical music CDs at libraries?
We will delve into these topics and more regarding music CDs and vinyl records at the library in a discussion with the head of Media Services at Port Washington Public Library, Jonathan Guildroy. A general discussion with attendees will follow this chat with Mr. Guildroy.
Podcasts as Programming: Reaching Busy Parents on Their Time (Click Title to Register)
Co-host and podcast founder, Jessi Bouchelle, will explain the way that the Patchogue-Medford Library is pioneering a truly innovative approach to parenting education by implementing a "podcasting as a programming" initiative. Launched in 2023, the "Adventures in Parenting" podcast is the first of its kind, designed to meet the growing demand for authoritative, Library vetted parenting workshops by substituting in-person/virtual static programming with convenient and on-demand access to the same information. Each episode features topic experts alongside librarian hosts who are also busy parents themselves, and offers an engaging conversation-style sharing of information. This unique format allows the library to deliver vital parenting topics in a format that resonates with today's busy families.
The Monthly Intellectual Freedom Committee meetings are open to all.
No registration necessary.
