Welcome to the Hive!

Now accepting lightning talk proposals the first Hive session

The Hive Collaborative Learning Series is a new, quarterly virtual space for library staff to share creativity, expertise, and practical strategies that strengthen services across our communities.

Submit a proposal!

Do you have a successful program, a grant project, a great idea, or a training you’ve designed? We invite you to present in our lightning-round sessions—short, focused presentations that showcase innovative work happening in libraries of all types.

Date: March 24, 2-3pm ET

Theme: Bilingual/Multilingual Programming

Deadline to submit: February 20th

Lightning talk proposals for the March session should focus on bilingual/multilingual programming and may include adult services, youth services, outreach, partnerships, best practices, or any subject that helps library staff learn, grow, and collaborate.

Proposals are welcome from staff in public, academic, and school libraries, at all career stages. If accepted, you’ll present a 15-minute online session and receive a slide template to support your presentation.
