MLA 2024 Conference

What do you do when your small town library doesn’t need more space but the decor and layout are stuck in the last century? What is the line between charming and outdated? When your city is so small that many functions are outsourced, how do you find funding and create an effective plan to remodel your space (all while still running your library)? And what happens when a global pandemic hits right when you are ready to kickoff the project? Join Jill Smith and Sara Wagner from Bayport Public Library and Ann Vonda and Jonathan Strand from BTR to hear about Bayport Public Library’s recent remodeling project. Learn lessons on building community support, finding expert advice, and achieving the goal of an updated flexible, modern library space.
