Library OnConference

Mary J. Soucie, State Librarian, North Dakota State Library Mark the date: April 16, 2015. Not only is it National Bookmobile Day and National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day, but it is also Library OnConference 2015. This is the second annual Library OnConference. This a free, online event open to all librarians. The keynote speaker for the conference will be the amazing Beck Tench, who is sure to inspire and motivate you.  A simplifier, illustrator, storyteller, and technologist, our keynote speaker encourages librarians and museum professionals to not be afraid to fail. She also swims with sharks and turns squiggles into robots. After the keynote, attendees will break out into small groups, via Google Hangouts, to talk about a variety of topics. I am honored to be one of the small group moderators this year. Other moderators are from Illinois and Indiana. It will be worth your time to hear Beck and to give Google Hangout a whirl if you haven't already. Registration opened on March 16.
