Description

The description of the event.

While social media is an unavoidable reality of today's digital landscape, it has inherent conflicts with many values of librarianship. Is it worth reconsidering how we use this tool and examining its real value? Learn how Bitterroot Public Library minimized their social media use while still engaging with their community.

Mark Wetherington has been director of the Bitterroot Public Library in Hamilton, MT since 2014. He started working in libraries as a college sophomore in 2006 and, other than seasonal work for the US Forest Service, has worked in them ever since. He received his MLIS from the University of Kentucky in 2012. Mark is also an avid outdoor recreationist and the co-author of Backpacking Washington, 3rd edition, by Wilderness Press.
