The "pop-up library" is a means of bringing the library closer to the people. The concept involves setting up a booth on a designated day and location, promoting engaging conversations with users. Embraced by public libraries and increasingly adopted by university libraries, the pop-up library is recognized as an effective communication channel and outreach method. Numerous libraries employing the pop-up concept attest to its efficacy in raising awareness of library services and initiating meaningful dialogues.
In the Netherlands, several university libraries have undergone centralization, leading to the disappearance of faculty libraries. This shift poses a significant challenge for libraries to remain in contact with their clients. In the meantime, the need for physical visits to the library diminishes, thanks to the ongoing digitization of services and collections. The University of Groningen Library recognized the potential of a pop-up library to (re)connect with academic staff and to increase the visibility of our services.
In this presentation, we will delve into how the University of Groningen Library implemented a pop-up library. The focus will be on sharing practical insights gained from our experiences in setting up and organizing a pop-up library. We will provide an overview of our setup, offer tips and tricks, and reflect on our journey after a year of touring with our pop-up library. Join us as we explore our pop-up library venture.
This interactive poster will feature different perspectives on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its role in libraries in supporting their communities from sustainable practices to user engagement approaches. It will include an SDG wheel that conference attendees can spin to -in a fun way- select an SDG and then converse with Garcia-Febo about how their libraries´ programs and services can help develop their community in that area. A chart including all the SDGs and library program / service examples from the US and other countries about each one of the SDGs will help focus these conversations to analyze how their library can help develop their communities. A concise handout with examples will be available for librarians to take with them. Additionally, today ´ s technologies will allow participants to take photos of the chart and the SDG wheel to further discuss with their colleagues once they return to their libraries. These resources provide a local / national / international platform to discuss examples of how libraries not only in the USA and Germany, but around the world, are specifically creating and cultivating new relationships to help communities learn, understand and support sustainable professional development. The poster is an effort to provide library professionals with tools and resources that support sustainable development goals. are specifically creating and cultivating new relationships to help communities learn, understand and support sustainable professional development.
