You Can Do Puppet Shows Too! How much do you spend on outside performers to come to your library?

You too will be able to plan, construct, and perform an entertaining puppet show on a shoestring budget. Track: Children & Young Adults Speakers: Michelle Brzozowski, Brick Branch of the Ocean County Library, Senior Librarian; Chien-Ju Lin, Brick Branch of the Ocean County Library, Senior Librarian

Goin’ Mobile: We Did It and You Can Too! Mobile devices are playing an increasingly important role in the lives of our customers, yet many public libraries are struggling to find the time and resources to develop mobile optimized websites. Despite the challenges (which really aren’t so bad!) of dealing with another form of technology, libraries can’t afford to ignore this trend. During this session, staff from The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County will guide you through the process of developing a mobile-friendly website. Track: Digital Information & Technologies Speakers: Sandra Bolek, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Internet Site Coordinator
