Saturday, June 22
9:00 - 9:30 a.m.:
The Public Library Director's Toolkit
New public library directors quickly
learn what seasoned directors already know:
running a library means you've always got
your hands full - balancing the needs of
staff, patrons, facilities, library boards,
and other stakeholders with professional
responsibilities like community interactions, legal and financial requirements, and
whole lot else that wasn't exactly in the job
description. Kate Hall and Kathy Parker's

new resource walks you through the core
components of getting up to speed and
then provides templates, sample documents,
checklists, and other resources that will
make your job easier.
11:00 - 11:30 a.m.:
Muslims in Story: Expanding Multicultural Understanding through Children's
and Young Adult Literature
Exposing children in their formative
years to positive stories about Muslims
can go a long way to creating a multicultural understanding by cementing ideas of
tolerance, respect, and acceptance. Gauri
Manglik and Sadaf Siddique's book takes
a timely and proactive approach by spot-

lighting quality children's and young adult
literature.
1:00 - 1:30 p.m.:
Collaborative Library Design: From
Planning to Impact
In his new book, award-winning architect Peter Gisolfi presents detailed case
studies of ten design projects from public,
academic, and school libraries that identify
paths to success as well as hazards to avoid.
Library planners, designers, and administrators will gain practical guidance directly
applicable to their own undertakings, regardless of size or complexity.
