By, Jennifer Daddio, Director
Attending the Public Libraries Association (PLA) Conference for the first time was an inspiring experience. Learning about emerging technologies, creative programming, and practical strategies—alongside connecting with fellow library professionals—left me energized with new ideas and a stronger sense of community. I’m grateful to work in a library where professional development for all employees is actively supported and encouraged by our Board of Trustees.
Join me next week for more conversations about libraries and how we can support and protect this resource for the community. I'll be hosting these upcoming events for National Library Week where we will get a chance to discuss why we need libraries more than ever.
