-Thriving Libraries
Montana’s communities are ever evolving, resulting in new patrons who need the information services that the library provides. The Montana State Library Commission adopted a Fair Access Resolution in 2019 that acknowledges that access to library services is uneven in Montana and that every Montana deserves equitable and sufficient access to library services. This session is designed to explore several different aspects of fair and equitable access to library services, using data about changing demographics in our state, to considering the history of public library service in America, to considering how our policies and procedures may unintentionally favor or hinder some that we desire to serve.    
Erica Freudenberger is a prolific collaborator and innovator who works with libraries – especially small rural libraries – to build the world as they dream it.  She has served as outreach, engagement, and marketing consulting librarian for the Southern Adirondack Library System in the rural mountains of New York State, and has engaged with the Re-envisioning Public Libraries pilot at the Aspen Institute and the American Library Association’s Libraries Transforming Communities initiative.   
Marsha Tonkins is a versatile, dependable, and strong communicator with the ability to drive teams towards their strategic goals. She has worked for major industries in pharmaceuticals and in fashion - she worked with Tim Gunn for over a decade - to advance inclusion and help organizations thrive with diversity.
