Design Thinking for Libraries is a one-day workshop that will empower you to tackle challenges. With support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and in partnership with Chicago Public Library, this full-day introductory workshop draws upon the toolkit developed by IDEO, an award-winning, human-centered global design firm, to help libraries use design thinking to better understand and service library patrons. The program will take a step-by-step approach to guide you through the process of understanding design thinking, so you can put it into practice at your library.
Your Membership Team want to thank you for successfully completing your reports and tell you about three of our member libraries.
For a very limited time, The New York Times is offering a very special opportunity for Illinois Heartland Library System public libraries.

Depending on the how many libraries express interest in a purchase, there may be additional specials.
Offer extended to June 1, 2019.
