The focus of Town Meetings 2013 will be managing and organizing your work life. The morning presentation will be about information management, focusing on some problem areas you encounter at work in your library - time-wasters, distractions, and email overload. Learn some useful ways to manage files, phone, mail and email, get organized and increase productivity.

The morning segment will also feature local library staff sharing stories about their experience with business continuity during times of transition, and stories about planning and/or coping with staff changes.  Plus the always popular morning skit with the "Not Ready For Prime Time Library Players" and afternoon breakout sessions led by Iowa Library Services staff.

Afternoon session topics include:

  • Email management
  • Tools for organizing projects and daily operations
  • Tips for approaching challenges to getting organized

    This will be a day for sharing experiences, problem-solving through staffing transitions, and implementing ideas for getting organized @ your library. Prepare for changes seen and unforeseen-join us for Town Meetings 2013.

Annual town meetings provide opportunities to learn about major issues affecting libraries, gain ideas for improving programs and services and get to know Iowa Library Services staff better.
