Generation of Libraries," will be held online (and for free) on Tuesday, October
1st, 2024, from 12:00 - 3:00 pm US-Pacific Time.

> What will libraries look like by 2035? That is the question that was tackled
> in the recently published book “Library 2035: Imagining the Next Generation of
> Libraries.” In that book, library leaders shared their thoughts about the
> lessons learned over the past decade and what they forecast as the
> opportunities, strengths, and challenges that lie ahead for libraries in the
> next decade. In this free virtual conference, we will broaden the conversation
> to include additional perspectives and global visions about what the future of
> libraries will look like.

the College of Information, Data & Society at San Jose State University. She
edited the recently published book, Library 2035: Imagining the Next Generation
of Libraries (Rowman & Littlefield) in March 2024.

This is a free event, being held live online and also recorded.

Kelvin Watson
Executive Director, Las Vegas-Clark County Library District
OPENING KEYNOTE PANEL

As executive director of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, Kelvin
Watson oversees 25 branches run by 600+ employees, spanning 8,000 square miles,
with a budget of $77 million and a collection of 3.2 million items. Kelvin has
brought innovative, award-winning leadership to Nevada’s largest library system
and his deep experience in fundraising, technology, program development, and
demonstrated success in addressing the digital divide, has brought a new era to
this library system.

Regarded as one of the most highly respected thought leaders in the library
industry, Kelvin is credited with expanding his customer base in multiple
library management roles, through outreach efforts to underserved and diverse
populations. Two examples of these in Las Vegas are a partnership with the
Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, which made digital access
to the library available to bus riders and won an Honorable Mention from the ULC
Innovation Awards; and the Library District’s many literacy programs for adults
and children, which received the Crystal Bookmark Award from the Las Vegas Book
Festival.

Kelvin joined the Library District from his role as the director of the Broward
County Libraries Division, where he managed through 38 locations in the Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida region. During his tenure at Broward County Libraries, he
brought transformative change through ambitious and groundbreaking initiatives,
such as streamlining access to resources, introducing new technology, and
developing new collaborative partnerships. He was named the 2021 winner of the
Margaret E. Monroe Library Adult Services Award, sponsored by Novelist, for his
dedication to implementing new and innovative ways to meet customers – both
existing and new – “where they are,” with initiatives targeting non-traditional
library users.

   changing roles and responsibilities in the future?
