Technology Conference 2019

Ready for the return of our day-long conference on technology in libraries? We are too! While we're keeping the exact date and location under wraps for a teensy bit longer, we can tell you that the conference will be in
Jacksonville in
July. Clear your calendar and get set to enjoy a fantastic keynote speaker and some terrific presentations.
We will announce the specifics as well as a call for session presentations very soon - keep your eyes peeled!

School Librarians Spring Gathering
|
Attendees at last Fall's Gathering enjoyed a presentation entitled "Windows & Mirrors: Books Highlighting DIVerse Families" by UCF librarians, learned how to use Ozobots in programming, shared ideas about promoting the SSYRA titles, and much more. Agenda details are coming soon, and we promise it'll be every bit as useful and engaging as last year's was. On top of that, you'll get the rare opportunity to interact with your colleagues from around Northeast Florida.
We hope to see you there!

Upcoming Interest Group Meetings
|
We have many exciting meetings coming up - if you haven't participated in a group yet, we'd love to see you this Spring at the group of your choice!
We are excited that this quarter's Children's Services East meeting will take place at a new location - the Daytona Beach Regional Library! Unfortunately, we'll
just miss Bike Week.
Join us on Friday, March 22nd!
Our
fairly new Teens Services group got off to a strong start last year - gather with your colleagues on
Thursday, March 28th, at NEFLIN to share programming ideas, resources, and experiences - both good and bad - that you have had working with this unique but wonderful age group.
We always love a chance to see the tech toys available at Jacksonville Public Library's Main Library - join facilitator Bridgett Cotton
at Jax Makerspace on Wednesday, May 15th, for some hands-on experience with all of the cool stuff JPL offers.

Featured Class |
with Diana Silveira
Tuesday, April 9
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Online
Speaking of
Library MakerFest, here's one more webinar before the big day to get yourself ready!
Makerspace activities don't always need to include robots, 3D printers, and other gadgets. This fun interactive workshop will explore free or low-cost hands-on program ideas for all ages - from circuits to toothbrush robots to cat castles. This session will have great ideas!
All ideas discussed will include a supply list and rough cost idea to help you with planning.
Diana Silveira presents regularly on implementing technology, best practices and privacy issues online. She also works with libraries to deploy new tech as well as develop new mobile and desktop websites.
