Speaker: Mindy Linder, Springfield Public Library

Description:
Building community through arts and culture is good medicine. World class professional artists and culture keepers are typically out of reach for many Public Libraries. Springfield Public Library will share how we maximize limited resources to coordinate cultural tours that expand community access with block booking. What’s block booking? When three or more presenters coordinate to book an artist or culture keeper. Our booking model is replicable, scalable and YOU can join us! You’ll leave with concrete examples of how to leverage relationships with public schools, higher education, performance venues, parks and recreation, fellow Libraries, Museums and more. We are all stronger together!
