Network - A pattern of human interaction characterized by a process of information exchange usually leading to other human interactions and/or material, service, information, monetary or spiritual exchanges. - Richard Haight

Librarians have always been about networking and never more so than in times of economic trouble. Nationally recognized speaker Pat Wagner will lead us through "The Networking Game", a powerful, practical, and fun experience that will help give us insight into these topics:

  • How to build coalitions among institutions, agencies and community groups

  • Reaching out to underserved populations, new immigrants, etc.

  • The meaning of community

  • How any library of any type can participate in reinforcing community values for the people they serve

The Networking Game is the art of discovering patterns in the world and making useful connections for ourselves and for others. It is about weaving new options into our safety nets.
