CALCON 2024

The Estes Valley Library will share how we markedly increased the circulation of our Library of Things collection while improving patron satisfaction and reducing stress on staff. We have practical, tested tips to help other libraries start a successful Library of Things or improve the display, back-of-the-house workflow, and circulation for their existing Things. We will introduce you to our charismatic, high-performing Things as well as our troublemakers, give you a peek under the hood at our metrics, and share part numbers and templates to improve your labeling and displays.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Participants will leave the session prepared to start a successful Library of Things in their library or improve the display, back-of-the-house workflow, and circulation for their existing Things.
