Library as a Creator (and Not Just an Aggregator!)

Description

What happens when librarians see a hunger in their communities for something that they can’t just order and put in the catalogue? And a pandemic that shakes up adult programming as they know it?

Our VIRL librarians got busy with the creative projects they had always wanted to bring into their libraries! They made: Sea & Cedar literary magazine for emerging and established writers and artists; Meet Me in the Stacks podcast for book-ish people; and their Virtual Gardening Series in partnership with Vancouver Island Master Gardeners Association. Get inspired and learn from their process to start your own creation!
