2/24/2020 May For Your Benefit https://ola.informz.ca/informzdataservice/onlineversion/pub/bWFpbGluZ0luc3RhbmNlSWQ9OTU4NzQz 4/8 The Mid-Life Crisis of Makerspaces Registration for Digital Odyssey is now open! Makerspaces have been a fantastic way to incorporate new types of programming and community engagement within libraries. Whether it be 3D printing, robotics, recording studios and virtual reality - technology has been the major driver behind much of these efforts. But is the gleam on your 3D printer starting to fade? Have your communities been able to have meaningful interactions with these tools? Join us on June 4 as we look at ways to get beyond the mid-life crisis of makerspaces and identify methods and tools that you can use to reinvigorate your space. REGISTER TODAY >> Super Conference 2019: Powered By The People Our communities, whether they be towns, cities, Indigenous communities, campuses, schools, organizations, or communities of common interests, are powered by the people. Libraries empower the people. They fuel communities by providing resources, programs, services and support for self-directed growth and development. Libraries have always been, and always will be, for the people. Submit your proposal for a session at the 2019 Super Conference by May 25. Find more information on the information required for the proposal form, and the type of sessions we're interested in this year here.
