How will the role of public libraries be changed?

This is an amazing one hour long conversation between some of Canada's awesome librarians. It has some great take aways and sharing of best practices. Well worth the listen.
It was hosted by Canadian Urban Institute; thanks to Edmund and Russ at Whitehots for sharing.

Each presentation will begin at 1 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. AT / 12 p.m. CT / 11 a.m. MT / 10 a.m. PT)

Attendees should RSVP via Eventbrite so they will be emailed the WebEx link to join closer to the event date. (We recommend you use Chrome for the Webex. There is no need to download anything.)

The presentation will also be recorded, and the link to the recording will be emailed to attendees afterwards. So if you are unable to attend on the day of the presentation and want to watch the recording later, please still RSVP!

The last day for RSVPs on Eventbrite will be Sunday May 24.

Looking forward to hitting the books with you (on the internet)!
