I mentioned this earlier in the year and we’re almost ready to start scheduling libraries for this, so I want to check with all of you and see who is interested in participating.
For a library to host it for a couple of weeks, they’d just need a space (preferably high traffic) to hang a few posters on walls or set them up on tables. It’s completely free and we’d send all the materials to you.
I would LOVE to get each of your libraries involved in this, so please let me know if you’re interested and I can get everything coordinated!
Alison, is something I could apply for to set up at our state’s annual conference in the future? I haven’t checked with them, but it seems like a good venue for it.
I’m with you, Bryan. The space we would want to put it in is tight. We would need a list of items with measurements! I can email them and see if they have that info handy!
@kellymce, @Sarah_in_Oregon, @AllyM and @librarianbryan, TJ Lamanna is working on this on behalf of LFP, so he will email you soon with more details. Anyone else who is interested in hearing more, please let me know!
@alison, I’m also interested. Not sure if we have space at my branch, but would like to try it here or at another branch and/or the Main. Our Digital Safety Committee meets next Tuesday so I can discuss with them.
I’m interested as well! I can’t talk about it with my director until next week, but if not in the library proper, we may be able to have it in the college’s art gallery.
i’m definitely interested in this as well. i have a meeting with my boss today, i’ll talk to her about it. we don’t have a library ourselves (though our offices are in a library), but i’m thinking we could partner with at least 1 library down here to offer this. worst case scenario: we just got our large meeting room/classroom back, we could use that space. is there a deadline?
@clobdell@sjbrown@josh let me know if you want me to put you in touch with TJ for more info. there is no exact deadline, though it is all gonna happen sometime in the fall.
