Conversation 1: What Are the Aspirational Goals of Our Communities?

Day 1 Questions:

1. Round 1: Pretend that you’ve each just taken a tour of your community. What did you see and hear on the tour?
2. Round 2: What would your community aspire to be, and what would change from what you saw and heard?
3. Round 3: In this picture of your envisioned community, what is different about the library?

The mission of librarians is to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities.
