Our theme Unlock. Apply. Thrive. And this year’s program is packed with sessions designed to help libraries make smarter decisions, stretch their digital collection budgets and create stronger connections with their communities.

Here’s a look at what’s in store:

Build a Digital Collection That Works Harder for Your Library

Digital collection development is about more than adding titles to your catalog. You’ll walk away with strategies for making thoughtful purchasing decisions, understanding patron behavior and getting more value from your digital collection.

Building an Audiobook Strategy That Works

Audiobooks are no longer a niche format. They’re a driver of circulation and engagement. In this session, libraries will explore how to move from simply purchasing audiobooks to developing an intentional strategy for growing and sustaining an audiobook collection.

You’ll dive into the data behind audiobook growth, learn how audiobooks can attract new users and influence patron behavior, and discover ways to use Libby features, including collections, campaigns and shelf talkers to encourage more listening.

Turn Data Into Better Decisions

Your library has access to valuable data but knowing how to turn that information into action can make all the difference.

Learn how Marketplace reporting and analytics can help you optimize spending, manage holds, identify collection gaps and uncover opportunities for growth, backed by real-world success stories from a library panel.

Make Libby Work for Your Community

A great digital collection is only part of the equation. Helping your staff and community discover everything available through Libby can turn a digital collection into a much more meaningful part of the library experience. This session helps you turn your team into confident Libby advocates and your community members into engaged users, with ready-to-use resources, programming ideas and best practices they can put into action right away.

Sessions Built For Your Library’s Needs

No two libraries operate the same way. Specialized sessions will give consortia and Advantage libraries an opportunity to dive deeper into the strategies and tools most relevant to their unique needs.

Two Roundtable Conversations, Two Opportunities to Connect

Join two conversational sessions built for connecting with peers. The first roundtable focuses on digital collections where you can reflect on what you learned about budgeting, reporting, and building collections. The second turns to marketing. Bring your questions and real-world experiences to a conversation on social media, promotion digital collections, and engagement your community.  Both sessions are a chance to swap strategies with peers and share wat’s resonating with patrons.

This is just a sneak peek! In addition to the sessions highlighted above, the program will feature dedicated programming on Kanopy, a publisher panel, a

nd, of course, two incredible keynote speakers who will be announced soon. Every session is designed to deliver practical insights, fresh ideas, and actionable strategies you can take home and put to work right away.
