Library summit at IVCC Nov. 10

Illinois Valley Community College’s Jacobs Library will host the 2022 Illinois Valley Libraries Summit for employees of public and high school libraries in district 513.

“We invite district library personnel to connect, collaborate, and share ideas with our local library community,” said Stephanie Reeder, public services librarian at Jacobs Library.

The event is 8 a.m. to noon Thursday, Nov. 10 in CTC124-125. Registration is free and open until Oct. 31.

If you are interested in facilitating a discussion, please submit a volunteer form by Oct. 25. Visit libguides.ivcc.edu/ivlibraries for details or contact Reeder at (815) 224-0305 for information.

Participants will share their workflows, resources, challenges, and ideas through a series of discussions. In addition, they will tour the Academic Support Center and explore IVCC’s library spaces.

Collaboration opportunities such as Explore and Soar, dual credit library resources, and One Book, One College will be presented. Information on the Illinois Reads Book Festival at IVCC on Saturday Nov. 12 will be provided.
