Are you interested in starting a 3D printing program at your library, or do you already have one and would like to learn some tips and tricks from other libraries?

At the 3D Printing Summit, you will hear from four libraries with successful 3D printing programs. Learn what has worked for them and what hasn’t, hear their 3D printing best practices, and get ideas for starting or building on your 3D printing program. After the presentations, there will be a moderated discussion with time to ask questions or share your own experiences.

After the program, there will be an optional tour of the 95th Street Library.

Looking for new ways to expand services to your patrons? Mount Prospect Public Library has offered a “Reference by Appointment” service since 2008. Learn how this service has grown and evolved to meet the needs of patrons researching a variety of topics. To address the unique technology needs of its patrons, the Morton Grove Public Library began offering a Book a Librarian service in 2013 as a way to provide individual technology training. Dale Heath from MPPL and Melissa Mayberry from MGPL will share what they have learned from their experiences in creating and implementing these one-on-one sessions.
