    Posted Dec 16, 2024 05:02 PM

    ⏰ Time's running out, library rockstars! Don't miss your chance to present wutchyalike!

    Got a wild, wonderful, or wonderfully weird idea? Dreamed up something outside the "library norms"? Maybe you've got a talent or passion totally unrelated to libraries that's just begging for the spotlight? This is your moment to shine.

    Our theme this year is doowutchyalike-a full-on rebellion against stuffy norms and cliques. Inspired by Digital Underground vibes, we're throwing the rules out the window and making space for the innovative, unexpected, and unapologetically YOU.

    ✨ Here's the vibe:

    • Got a library-adjacent brainstorm that'll blow minds? Let's hear it.
    • Want to teach survival hacks, salsa dancing, or the magic of mixology? Bring it on.
    • Have a revolutionary idea to fix library pain points or ignite collaboration? We need it!

    We're craving interactive, creative, and uniquely YOU sessions. No boring slideshows allowed. Let's make this year's Collective unforgettable.

    �� The Details:

    • �� Submission deadline: December 31, 2024. Don't wait-this is your moment to shine!
    • �� Join us in April 2025 at the MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center in Kingsport, TN.
    • �� Submit your proposal here: https://bit.ly/LibCol25proposals

    Got questions? Hit us up at program@thelibrarycollective.org.

    �� P.S. Seriously, don't sit on this. The deadline's creeping closer, and we're counting on YOU to bring the magic. Let's doowutchyalike and make library conference history.
