Description:

 Library Journal's annual Best Small Library in America Award, sponsored
by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was created in 2005 to encourage
and showcase the exemplary work of libraries serving populations under
25,000. After the Glen Carbon Centennial Library
<http://www.glencarbonlibrary.org/>  in Illinois was recognized as an
"honorable mention" in the 2008 awards, its staff resolved to win the
award-and they did
<http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6716260.html> ! Their
successful results are seen in their commitment to hire and inspire
staff to provide "more than you expect" service to patrons, and in their
stellar outreach and programming that leverages partnerships and
technology every way they can. As we await the naming of the 2011 winner
(expected February 1, 2011), we're pleased to bring you this webinar
exploring the inner workings of GCCL, in collaboration with the 
Association for Rural and Small Libraries <http://www.arsl.info/>  and
featuring GCCL library director, Anne M. Hughes and Library Journal's
executive editor, Rebecca Miller.

Description:

 Geek the Library <http://www.geekthelibrary.org/>  is a public
awareness campaign that is used as a platform for educating the public
about the library's important local role and the critical funding issues
that libraries are facing today. Campaign materials include advertising,
collateral, a Web site, social media and other online tools. After a
successful pilot program in 2009 involving nearly 100 libraries, Geek
the Library <http://get.geekthelibrary.org/>  can now be implemented by
any public library in the US. In this webinar, Jennifer Pearson,
Advocacy Programs Senior Manager at OCLC, will discuss the campaign and
how your library can participate. With Jennifer will be Heidi Gustad and
Liz Kudwa of the Capitol Area Library District <http://www.cadl.org>  of
Lansing, MI, who will share with you why they implemented the campaign,
how they are applying it locally, and its impact on their community.

 One simple change in library hours can have an unexpected impact on a
large number of library patrons: Unemployment Insurance (UI) customers.
In this webinar, we will be joined by an Unemployment Insurance
Specialist from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic
Development, who will explain out how the service works. In addition,
Alice Neve, Public Service Manager at St. Paul Public Library, will
describe how your library can support UI customers. Using her library as
an example, she will describe how to collaborate with local UI offices,
analyze challenges and implement solutions throughout your library
system. This session is the first in a series brought to you in
collaboration with the Jobs and Small Business Task Force of MELSA
<http://www.melsa.org/melsa/index.cfm> , serving the eight public
library systems of the Twin Cities metro region of Minnesota.
