On the Go: Mobile & Pop-Up Health Library Services (Online1-2 pm Wed 26 Nov)

🐘 Event Description

In this session, we’re shining a spotlight on the creative and impactful ways hospital libraries are reaching out to their communities. You’ll hear from passionate professionals who are doing fantastic work through pop-up libraries and outreach services in their health settings. Each speaker will share their unique approach—how they’ve brought library services beyond traditional walls, connected with staff in new ways, and made health information more accessible and engaging.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, practical ideas, or just curious about what’s possible, we hope you come along and learn from others and share your own successes with us all.

View the Conference Program, and – because it’s so great – Register for the Conference

This year’s big event is the joint HLA / HLi conference being held in Melbourne in late October.

This is an in-person 👩 event only so it could be a good time to consider setting aside time ⏲, perhaps planning a holiday 🚢 around the event.

As a bonus, it’s in wonderful Melbourne (3rd most livable city in the world, leaving poor old Sydney in its wake …)
