A Note from the Education and Events Coordinator

[https://myneotoday.org/photos/24992_10262015120446.jpg]This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend ALA in Washington D.C. I came away with some great topics and speakers.  Here is a sampling of programs that I popped into.  I started by learning about Encore Entrepreneurship  for those 50 and older and how libraries can assist these patrons.  This theme continued with Strengthening Libraries as Entrepreneurial Hubs where I had the pleasure of listening to Paula Miller, Director of Baltimore County Public Library, and Heidi Daniel, President and CEO of Enoch Pratt Free Library, talk about how the two libraries have partnered to bring an entrepreneurial course to their patrons.  On the other end of the spectrum was a library teaching seniors how to bank online.  I also had the chance to attend a session with the authors from Book Club Reboot who spoke about the many different types of book clubs.  While listening to the Book Club Reboot speakers,  a member of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine in the crowd  mentioned a health book club kit which you can review here <https://nnlm.gov/all-of-us/nnlm-reading-club> .  Lastly, with regard to adults and programming I heard about an adult programming palooza!    Switching gears I learned about elevating your teen volunteers by including more leadership opportunities and meaningful work.  Also, for staff that can be apprehensive with teens it was said “you don’t have to be good with teens to be good with teens.”  I heard about teen trends from teens and tweens themselves and how libraries have responded accordingly.   In one session I discovered  that you can learn a lot from the fire department when it comes to recruiting millennials.  The speaker in this session gleaned all of her research from Fire Engineering magazine.  Who would have thought?  Lastly, I ended the conference listening to speakers on the importance of self care for all library employees.  These examples are just the tip of the iceberg of the types of topics and speakers I want to be able to offer to you and your libraries. Now that I am back there are still more sessions to listen to online to identify even more topics!
