Join Us For The Special Follett Content Webinar...Library Spaces That Work For Every Student! Register Today, Friends.

 

Friends, I am so excited to invite you to the upcoming Follett Content webinar, Library Spaces That Work for Every Student. It is on October 1, 2026 at 2:00pm CST. 

I opened our new library and Makerspace this fall, and have so many amazing things to share!  Here is what we will cover in the webinar...

You've got one library and every kind of reader walking through the door: kids who need quiet, kids who want to build something loud, kids who just need somewhere calm to land. Your budget rarely stretches to cover all of it, and carving out space for every need at once can feel like an impossible puzzle.

Shannon McClintock Miller just solved that puzzle in her own library, and she's walking through exactly how she did it, whatever your square footage or budget looks like.

In this FREE webinar you’ll learn to:

  • Identify which of your current spaces are actually working, and which ones deserve a second look
  • See how Shannon zoned her new library for finding the perfect book, collaboration, reading, and making, all under one roof
  • Build low-cost, DIY space solutions you can start on this month
  • Map out flexible furniture options, including a look at Copernicus furniture, with no pressure to order anything on the spot
  • Walk away with a new way of thinking about what "enough space" really means
Whether you're rethinking one corner of your library or dreaming up a full redesign, this one's for you.


And don't worry if you can't attend live. The recording and resources will be sent out to everyone who registers. 

I cannot wait to share our new library, ideas, resources, and more with all of you.
