The Library Journal Design Institute is a one-day, hands-on, small group event on library design being held on September 21st at the Minneapolis Central Library, hosted by LJ and Hennepin County Library Director Lois Langer Thompson. WiLS members can register at a special rate of $114 instead of the full rate of $163. To take advantage of this offer, use promotional code MN30 when registering.
Those who register before August 10 will have the opportunity for their library’s design challenges—from one-room fixes to building-wide renovation to new construction—to be workshopped by participating architects, who’ll share their expertise in small breakout sessions.
Beyond the breakout sessions, the day will also feature a mix of panels—on designing for changing collections, staff roles, and new services—and speed sessions in which you can get answers to your own questions from architects and vendors. There will be plenty of time to network with colleagues, as well.
There is also a half-day tour of surrounding libraries on September 20, capped by a reception hosted by MSR Design at Open Book.
