Register for After The Futures School

Coming in November, the CT State Library Division of Library Development in partnership with TFSX (formerly The Futures School), will host a virtual gathering highlighting library alumnus from over four years of collaboration on Transformation for Libraries: The Futures School.  Panelists will discuss perspectives, learnings, and the future of foresight in libraries, sharing their experiences on how they are implementing foresight within the library context for planning, partnerships, and beyond.  Together, we will engage in conversation on how to build and integrate foresight as a core competency for the library profession in collaboration with our national library partners including the Institute of Museum and Library Services, American Library Association, library schools, and others.

Dawn La Valle, Director of the Division of Library Development at the CT State Library will share how the CT State Library recently applied foresight practices to its own Strategic Framework process taking an innovative approach towards envisioning its own future and thus positioning the agency to become more adaptive, resilient, and transformative.
