Keynote Address: Extreme Library Makeover

• There’s a whole lot of change out there affecting libraries. Our communities are changing. The kids are changing. Can we sustain and improve our relevance as necessary community and learning resources? How do we compete with a Google-eyed market? How do we adapt to the ever-changing landscape of technology? Which technologies are the ones to watch? And, which ones will have the biggest impact?
