SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS MARCH 24

Register by March 24 to have your library project featured in an architect-led breakout session!

Join us on Friday, May 8 for this day-long collaborative event on building and design. You will have the opportunity to dig deep with other librarians, as well as architects and vendors who’ll provide insights and specifics on building and renovating/retrofitting large and small library spaces that engage and effectively serve communities. This event runs 9AM-5PM.

Whether you're in the dreaming and planning stages or further
along the design road, you'll find ideas, information, and
inspiration, no matter your budget!

This full-day event features:

• Expert panels with architects and librarians on issues and innovations in library space, design, and construction
• Tips on how to get your community on board
• Hands-on, architect-led breakout sessions dealing with real-life design challenges submitted in advance by you and your fellow attendees
• Design consultations with individual architects who will help you address your own library-specific questions (be sure to bring photos, illustrations, floor plans, or plat maps–whatever you think will inform the discussion)
• Plenty of networking opportunities throughout the day

Are there any design challenges that your library currently faces?

 Don’t miss John Chrastka at Library Journal's Design Institute Hayward, CA, to get the nitty gritty on what you need to do to get your project funded. John is the founder and executive director of EveryLibrary, the first nationwide PAC for libraries, which has provided pro bono support to 110 libraries with ballot measures since 2012.
