Virtual 2020 Emerging Technology Symposium </a>is right around the corner! All of our previously scheduled speakers have risen to the occasion and are creating dynamic, interactive, virtual experiences. Because we want to make this Virtual 2020 Emerging Technology
Symposium as successful as our past in-person symposiums and accommodate varied situations, we are bringing the Symposium sessions to you throughout the month of September. Thanks to an LSTA Open Grant from the State Library of Ohio we are able to offer all
of the sessions for FREE to everyone. The Symposium will be kicked off on September 3
<sup>rd </sup>by the innovative and energetic team that created BLDG 61 at the Boulder Public Library. Janet Hollingsworth, Adam Watts and Zack Weaver, named 2019
<em><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Library Journal </span></em>Movers & Shakers, will look at some of the barriers that prevent widespread and sustained use of the makerspace and will offer some solutions. Their presentation, “Don’t Panic!
WE are going to MAKE it,” will start us off and include an open Q & A. They will close the day’s events with a virtual Happy Hour to connect more deeply with all of you. Dates and information for the various webinars, poster sessions and breakouts will be
forthcoming in the next weeks. Keep your eye on the newsletter and the website and sign up for all of the sessions, sign up for only the ones you want – but sign up and don’t miss this great opportunity.

Customer service experience is the ability to provide positive experiences for and with our customers. In libraries, customers experience our services and programs and much, much more. An experience can be individual, or for a group or family and can take place
in the library, on the phone, in our social media accounts and in our virtual branch (our website).
