    Hello and Welcome!

    This email is an invitation to join the new Library Facilities & Interiors Interest Group!

    About

    The new Library Facilities & Interiors Interest Group is an informal and online based discussion group that has been created through the merging two of LLAMA's Building and Equipment Community of Practice (BECoP) discussion groups. You may have known these as the Library Facilities Planning Discussion Group (llama-bes-fpdg) and the Library Interiors Discussion Group. Through open discussion, we will answer questions to allow all librarians, library faculty, and library staff interested in the planning, programming, and general oversight of their library facilities to fully maximize facility potential. 

     

    Please Join Us 

    We will convene Thursday, February 4th at 2pm CT for a session during Interest Group Week.

    The 45-minute session will be an open discussion where we examine how library facilities and operations are adjusting to COVID-19 and what lessons can be learned through the unintended consequences. 

     

    Core will host the upcoming IG Week during the first week of February 21. This will be an annual virtual event, separate from Midwinter, with the goal of highlighting the interest groups' activities. Anyone can join any session.

    Please feel free to submit one or more questions that you would like to ask the community or a trend or observation you would like to hear the group discuss. We are all ears!
