What better day to learn how to document your needs for your new library (greatest ever cornerstone of Democracy) than Bastille Day?
Thank you, librarians from the APLL Institute at Southern Ontario Library Service, who participated in our webinar "The Library Program - Roadmap to a successful New Library Building". Or - Architectural Programming, the very short version!
We know it was a huge chunk of information to digest.
It will all make sense once you begin your new project.
Keep on being your amazing, information-seraching, freedom-loving selves.
It will all work out - promise.
Special thank you to Anne Marie M!

Tomorrow we have the privilege of conducting for the third time, the first of two updated webinars for the Southern Ontario Library Service SOLS.
We kick off their Advancing Public Library Leadership (APLL) Institute. A "two year certificate program designed to expand and advance the leadership capacity of public library CEOs and managers. Pronounced 'apple,' the APLL Institute combines the flexibility of online learning with highly interactive classroom sessions."
This webinar gives an overview of The Library Development Guide #5, 2010. (That) "covers the crucial work of building municipal and community support for a building project based on documenting the community's need for a new or expanded building.
The process begins with a thorough information gathering process that helps you assess your facility requirements in terms of meeting the future needs of the community, as captured in the librarys strategic plan."
We hope that you can join us and take the opportunity to ask questions and follow the links provided during the presentation. We are available throughout the course to help you develop a through undestanding of the importance of leading your Library Building Project.
PLAN22 are the authors of The Library Development Guide #5, 2010, ed. SOLS
PLAN22 delivered our second webinar for the Southern Ontario Library System (SOLS) - Advancing Public Library Leadership (APLL) Institute
We stressed that when a librarian leads the collection of data and the authorship of the library building program - the completed library project will meet the needs of the community and fulfill the Strategic Plan.
Participants in the Southern Ontario Library System (SOLS) - Advancing Public Library Leadership (APLL) Institute, joined their colleagues in our webinar to open up the conversation about the skills required to lead a library building project.
The APLL Institute "is designed to expand and advance the leadership capacity of public library CEOs and managers." The "certificate program takes approximately two years to complete, with participating library staff undergoing independent course work in 12 key areas, complemented by highly interactive classroom sessions."
You may contact us for more information about this webinar.
