The coronavirus pandemic has library leaders responding with a broad range of activities. To date, what has worked? How can you apply what you and others have learned so far to the next phase in this ongoing time of unexpected change? And how can you plan to have your library be even stronger on the other end of COVID-19? Based on a tool for managing library’s key relationships, presenters will engage participants in the application of the model during this pandemic time. Join Jamie LaRue (library writer, speaker, and consultant) and Sharon Morris (Director of Library Development, Colorado State Library) and leave with a plan (including drawings!)
