Back by popular demand – Steve Koebel of Arlington Public Library (APL) returns to the virtual Springy Stage to expand on his SpringyCamp 2025 presentation in a live Learning Lab: From Room Reservations to a Reimagined Digital Branch. On Thursday, April 9 at 11am ET, Steve will take us all on a transformative journey! The destination? A cohesive and user-friendly digital branch that patrons love.
What began as a migration to a new room reservation system for APL sparked a complete digital transformation leveraging the power of Springy Tools – including LibGuides, LibCal, LibAnswers, LibWizard, and Patron Point. Library patrons can sign up for a library card, book rooms, register for events, search FAQs, chat with staff, and more – all from one site.
In this Learning Lab, Steve will share strategies, lessons learned, and practical tips to help you enhance your own library's virtual presence. You won't want to miss Steve's tips for managing multiple locations and different types of patrons!
This 1-hour webinar will cover:
- Overview of Springy Tools
- Tips for creating a self-service digital branch
- How integrating Springshare Tools with your ILS supports personalized outreach and secure authentication
- Benefits of a unified platform for staff training and internal workflows
- Time for Q&A
Register now and join us on Thursday, April 9 at 11am ET to gain inspiration and actionable insights to meet your users where they are!
