Panel of speakers
Recorded Program
Change is hard. And changing how a library system plans and implements programming, from building specific to system-wide, is even harder. Over the last couple of years, the Plano Public Library System has moved to a whole system approach, planning as one for all five buildings. Our panel will discuss the bumps along the road to the pathway of successful collaborative program planning, including overcoming competition between buildings, figuring out how to communicate new processes to everyone and encouraging staff at all levels to submit program ideas.
