ConnectedLibFEST

About ConnectedLibFEST:

• Do you work in a small or rural library?
• Do you work with small and rural library staff?
• Have you thought about how connected learning and small and rural libraries are a match made in heaven?
• Do you want to learn more about connected learning and small and rural libraries and communities?

Did you answer “yes” to any of these questions?

If so, then ConnectedLibFEST is the event for you!

ConnectedLibFEST is the first ever event specifically focused on connected learning in small and rural libraries and communities. This virtual experience takes place on Wednesday and Thursday, March 15 and 16, from 1 PM to 5 PM Eastern.

Each day brings together library staff, researchers, and community members to learn from and with each other about bringing Connected Learning to small and rural library settings. Small and rural libraries are already using the principles of connected learning in their work. They do this by building relationships with youth, community members, and stakeholders; fostering interests of teens through library services; and creating opportunities for academic and life success.
