SpringyCamp for Public Libraries is coming up on October 1 at 12pm - 3:30pm ET. Grab your trail mix for this public-library-focused edition of SpringyCamp! Join us for a day dedicated to exploring imaginative and actionable strategies to maximize your Springy tools for your team and community.
What is SpringyCamp?
SpringyCamp is our interactive online conference where real Springshare users showcase innovative ways they’re leveraging Springy tools in their libraries. Tune in to discover inspiring ideas, proven strategies, and actionable tips – without having to apply bug spray.
Don't work for a public library? You can still gain insights from our Public Libraries Day, but we have two days packed with sessions designed for All Libraries in November!
New Features for SpringyCamp!
SpringyCamp Give Back
This year, for every unique person who attends SpringyCamp live, we'll donate $1 to EveryLibrary, supporting the vital work of libraries everywhere. Learn more about the SpringyCamp Give Back here. And don't miss EveryLibrary's Keynote at 12:10pm ET!
SpringyCamp Care Packages
All live attendees will get a special SpringyCamp Care Packet in the mail, with fun goodies like a postcard, bookmark, and sticker to remember your adventure. Register to attend live!
SpringyCamp Care Packets will be mailed out a few weeks after each SpringyCamp session.
