Lake Superior Library Unsymposium Coming

 


Here's a heads-up especially to our colleagues working in the northern part of WI. The Lake Superior Libraries crew is made of library workers from school, public and academic libraries who work together on great CE opportunities and conferences. The unconference held for a half day in winter is a great way to share and learn and costs nothing but the gas to get there!

Lake Superior Libraries Mid-Winter Unsymposium

Save the date for the 10th Annual Lake Superior Libraries Mid-Winter Unsymposium at the Superior Public Library! Join us on January 14th, 2022, for an afternoon of networking, discussion, and collaborative learning & problem-solving!

We can’t predict how the next few months will go or if we’ll need to switch to an online venue. For now, please keep an eye out for final confirmation of the format and other details in a few weeks, and more importantly: get this date on your calendars!

Sometimes you need a break from the average conference: you need an UNCONFERENCE! At the LSLS Unsymposium, you determine the conversation. Participants brainstorm a host of topics, which are then selected in a bottom-up, democratic manner. Rather than listening to a single speaker, you get to ask questions, interact, and offer your own expertise on a topic chosen by the whole group.

So...everyone wants to talk about collection development? Done. You’re the only one who wants to talk about library-themed cupcakes? Maybe we’ll talk about them next time! Together, we’ll discover our common challenges and develop solutions collaboratively. You'll come away from the Unsymposium invigorated by lively discussions and ready to take that excitement back to your library.

The Unsymposium is free and open to everyone.
