In late 2015, I had the honor of visiting New Zealand and Australia to share stories and ideas about public libraries with other librarians and politicians. My focus of these visits was to communicate how important it was for the modern public library to have real, authentic communication with their community members. While I did modified versions of this presentations for my audiences, the basic idea is all here in this presentation. -Keynote Speaker: LIANZA 2015 Conference, Wellington New Zealand, 2015. -Guest of the State Library of New South Wales, Sydney Australia, 2015. -Guest of the State Library of Queensland, Brisbane Australia, 2015. I also gave this presentation at the 2015 NYLA Conference in Lake Placid, NY. That was great too!
