SCRLC Webinar: Designing for the Future – The Post-Pandemic Library
May 13, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am EDT
What will patrons expect from their libraries after the pandemic? How will a year or more of social distancing and self-isolation impact the way people interact with – and within – their libraries? How should library leaders plan for renovations and modifications in the wake of the pandemic? How can designed flexibility help libraries adapt to a rapidly changing world? This free webinar addresses these important questions.
Please join David Vinjamuri, an NYU Adjunct Associate Professor of Marketing and author of “Library Space Planning: A PLA Guide,” for an insightful discussion and Q&A session on the future of libraries and how you can prepare yourself and your staff for the changes ahead.
David is a passionate advocate for public libraries and has audited over forty libraries for space design efficiency in the past three years. He co-authored the Medium piece, Designing for the Future–The Post-Pandemic Library and most recently authored, How Libraries* Can Save Democracy, also for Medium.
Topics covered:
Personal space post-pandemic
Curbside forever? – The crisis of rising expectations
Reengaging communities post-pandemic.
Flexibility as a design feature.
Libraries as a civic hub.
