Throughout the fall/winter of 2023-2024, the ICfL in partnership with Library Strategies, will be offering a series of webinars focused on the various aspects of library facility improvements and capital projects, with a specific focus on public libraries and rural communities. Whether you are a library just starting your building journey or are already in the middle of construction, there will be something for everyone!

These webinars are free and open to Idaho’s entire library community, however registration is required. We will also be recording all the webinars and posting them on our website for future access (no registration required to access the recordings).

Webinar #6 – Moving & (Re)opening

Date/Time: March 7, 10am MT/9am PT

Registration Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nK_E8RAKRuuzd7qt3LyDJg#/registration

Description: While improvement projects often bring disruptions to day-to-day work, libraries have a responsibility to provide some level of continuity in service to patrons until construction has concluded. Doing so requires careful planning. Likewise, moving or purchasing library materials, furnishings and fixtures are important, time-intensive considerations which should not be left for the last minute. This webinar will cover these subjects – and also offer tips around how to celebrate and make the most of your new amenities.

This webinar is made possible through funding from the US Treasury Department’s Capital Project Funds (CDFA # 21.029 CPF).
