Library Journal is thrilled to once again be hosting our long-running library building and design event in person! And we’re especially excited to be hosting it in partnership with Spokane Public Library. This full-day think tank provides expert panel discussions with architects and librarians, as well as hands-on, architect-led breakout sessions tackling real-life design challenges submitted in advance by attendees. Dig deep with architects, librarians, and vendors to explore building/renovating/ retrofitting spaces both large and small that will redefine the relationship with your users and engage your community. There will be plenty of facetime and networking opportunities throughout the day with colleagues.

For more than two decades, Library Journal’s Day of Dialog has been the most anticipated librarian-only gathering of the year. Now it’s gone digital and is free to attend! The next all-day event is scheduled for May 9, 2024 and will feature a close-up look at the biggest forthcoming books for summer/fall 2024.

Join JSTOR and a panel of Path to Open community members to learn where we are on the path to open access, including program updates, accomplishments, and what we have learned so far. Plus, what they have planned for the future of Path to Open!

In this crash course, you will learn trauma-informed, equity-centered practices for de-escalation in order to maintain a calm environment at your library.
