Parking: The parking lot is to the north and NW of the building. There are a few parking spots designated for visitors. Email CARLI Support by November 17 if you need a parking pass.

These “listening sessions” will be informal 2 hour sessions. The sessions will offer library directors an opportunity to talk about their library’s challenges and successes. Although the gathering is intended to be very informal, here are some questions that might help frame the day:

  • Are there opportunities that you see that you can’t take advantage of that maybe CARLI could help you with or leverage for you?
  • Are there other opportunities for collaboration that CARLI should be pursuing? 
  • Are there best practices in your organization that exemplify collaboration through CARLI that we could share with the rest of the consortium?
  • Is there a program/service that you are conducting that could be leveraged at scale?

Registration: To register, please click on the "Register" tab above. The registration deadline is November 20. Please note, lunch will be served at the "listening sessions". 

If you have any questions, please email CARLI at support@carli.illinois.edu.
