The LSTA grant period for our LibraryYOU project is coming to an end in a week. While we plan to continue to the project, it will be greatly impacted by the loss of the two staff positions paid for with grant money. We have applied for a different local grant and are waiting to hear if we received it and we’re looking into getting more volunteers and interns to help us in the recording studio.
The LibraryYOU staff have created over 35 videos and 3 podcasts so far. We’re showcasing all of this excellent content at the first annual LibraryYOU Film Festival tomorrow. Many of the local experts will be there to introduce their videos and halfway through we will be doing a live podcast with a woman who learned how to create a podcast from taking a LibraryYOU training. We even have a little something for the kids – balloon artist Don Ewald, who created a couple videos, will be around to make balloon animals.
We decided to break the schedule into subject areas so people can drop in throughout the afternoon and catch some videos that may be of interest. Here’s the schedule:
