Upcoming Know & Go Sessions

Amigos will be offering two informative Know & Go sessions in the coming weeks: Introduction to Makerspaces - A New Wave of Library Service, and Tips and Tricks on Use of Tablets and E-readers.

Introduction to Makerspaces - A New Wave of Library Service is scheduled for January 13 from 1:30 -2:30 p.m. CST. Join Lynne Craddock, Public Library Specialist at Amigos, for this hour-long look at makerspaces, sometimes also referred to as hackerspaces, hackspaces, and fablabs. Makerspaces is the hot new concept when it comes to providing library service. Lynne will define makerspaces and how they can serve as creative DIY spaces in libraries where people can gather to create, invent, and learn. Resources and examples will be provided for anyone thinking about setting up a makerspace in their library. Register on the Amigos website.

Tips and Tricks on Use of Tablets and E-readers is scheduled for January 27 from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. CST. Join Arta Kabashi, Continuing Education Librarian at Amigos, for this tip-packed session to learn useful tips for downloading and troubleshooting common technical problems with tablets and e-readers. Whether you are a novice librarian or experienced reference librarian, you will learn how to help your patrons in need of technology tips. Register on the Amigos website.
