Hello Library Programming COI Members!

Sydney (FLO), Raina (FLO), Natalie (MCPHS) and I met recently to discuss how to run the Library Programming COI meetings moving forward as well as how to capture information that is discussed at the meetings (thanks for all your great thoughts and input!) As this COI group is still new and evolving, the below may change, but to start we came up with the following. Raina, Syndey, and Natalie – feel free to add anything I missed!

Meeting Flow

Welcome
Show And Tell – 1-2 COI members will present on a topic that is being discussed that month and how it works at their library. These will be brief – 5 minutes max. Or for larger topics, have 1 member do a longer presentation. For our June meeting, Natalie will present on Orientation at MCPHS, and I will present on how MassBay has attempted to create a welcoming space.
Breakout Rooms – We will have breakout rooms to further discuss topics presented. Members can choose which room they want to go to, and they will be 10 minutes long.
Report Out And Q&A – Each Breakout Room will report out what was discussed, and members can ask questions.
Open Discussion – Topic Suggestions For Next Month – Call For Volunteers For Next Show And Tell

Other Information

Sydney will be our note taker for the meetings.
Raina will design a LibGuide that lives at FLO, to capture all the resources/information that is discussed at our meetings. Natalie will take the lead on keeping the LibGuide updated.
Sydney will create a form that will live on the LibGuide for members to submit comments, feedback, and suggestions for upcoming topics.
Recordings of our meeting will be available for 2-3 months after the meeting then deleted. A link to the recordings will be provided on the LibGuide.
A Slack Channel will be formed.
The Zoom address will stay the same for each meeting (phew!)

While everything is still being set up, feel free to email me with any questions, comments or suggestions.

Looking forward to seeing many of you at our next meeting – Wednesday, June 4 @ 11am.

Thanks!

Leigh
