Abstract

The pop-up craze goes beyond restaurants— now you can have your very own pop-up library! Reach patrons in a whole new way by bringing the library to them. Learn best practices for starting a pop-up library, discover benefits and challenges, and gain insight for collaboration opportunities. Presenters will talk about what to bring and how to get it there, choosing times and locations, and mobilizing your pop-up library for success. No matter what type of library you work in, you will want to get rolling on this project right away!
