With makerspaces and media labs and recording studios, the library is quickly and successfully moving from a repository of information to a creator of it. Our presenters will share the ways that their libraries are advocates for creativity, connecting the library and its resources to artists and makers of all sorts.

3. We believe the library is a place to connect and
create.
The mission of the Library as Incubator
Project is to promote and facilitate creative
collaboration between libraries and artists of
all types, and to advocate for libraries as
incubators of the arts.

4. The Book to Art Club
• Book club with a twist
• Story time for grown-ups
• Read. Talk. Make.
• Engaging with a text on a deeper
level
• No longer just for schools!
The goal of the Book to Art Club is to find
hands-on, creative ways to engage with
literature – where the process of art-making
is more important than the product!
