Description

The Library as Incubator Project is the go-to place for new ideas related to creativity and arts programming and practices. Since our founding in 2010, the LAIP team has collected information from more than 500 libraries, artists, writers, performers, and creatives of all kinds about how libraries can support the work of fine and creative artists. Join Laura and Holly from the LAIP for a conversation about ways to engage your community through creative programming and practices; hear new ideas and share yours!

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to survey your community to find opportunities for creative collaborations.
• Learn how to showcase your library's space and collections in new ways to promote interaction and creativity.
• Learn how to connect with creatives in your community and welcome them to the library.

Speaker(s):

• Laura Damon-Moore, Community Engagement Librarian , Madison Public Library
