I volunteer for Forward Libraries and every March we host the Spring Forward Annual Virtual Conference https://www.forwardlibraries.org/initiatives/conference. It’s an actually fun conference where instead of spending several hours in a Zoom room back-to-back, it’s spread out over the course of a couple weeks and includes interactive workshops, roundtables, and asynchronous content like podcasts and articles so attendees can choose how and when they engage. The Call for Proposals https://www.forwardlibraries.org/initiatives/conference/call-for-proposals is up until October 16. I highly recommend submitting something if it suits your vibe! Otherwise, keep an eye out for registration and join us when the fun begins in March.


Come one, come all! Do YOU have what it takes to ride the most thrilling bureaucratic roller coasters? Can you find your way through the funhouse of classification horrors? Try the tilt-a-whirl, also known as “other duties as assigned,” where your head never stops spinning! There’s something for everyone in Library Land! After all, the best amusement parks offer a variety of rides, games, food, and adventures…every park visitor gets to choose the right ride or activity for them!


Spring Forward 2027 invites you to share the ways you’ve built your own library amusement park. Have you tried something new lately? Where have you successfully (or unsuccessfully) pushed boundaries? What’s brought you joy in the library world lately? We want to hear about it and celebrate the LibraryCoaster Tycoon we know you are. Join us while we survive the ups and downs while screaming for joy!
