Commission readies delegate for California Library Association conference, maps sessions to priorities
Summary
The commission confirmed a commissioner will attend the CLA conference in Riverside in October and discussed sessions (advocacy, data storytelling, equity, technology, and outreach) they recommend the delegate attend and share back to the commission.
Commissioners discussed the California Library Association conference planned for October and said Commissioner Coughlin is registered to attend. Staff and commissioners recommended sessions to prioritize, including advocacy on censorship and equity, data-driven storytelling to show library impact, and practical sessions on outreach and partnerships.
Several commissioners suggested dividing sessions among attendees so the commission could return with a variety of takeaways and slide decks. "If you see something that you think... the commissioner sees something creative that you would like to share… back with our team," a commissioner said, urging post-conference sharing of materials and follow-up.
