Description

The description of the event.

Libraries are evolving into community wellness hubs, integrating health initiatives that foster physical activity, social connection, and holistic wellbeing. This presentation highlights Billings Public Library’s innovative programming—like the Bike Library, outdoor fitness programs, skate clinics, and health partnerships—showcasing strategies, community impact, and how libraries of any size and budget can embrace wellness programming to transform their communities.

Kelsie Rubich, Assistant Library Director at Billings Public Library, has spent over two decades in public and academic libraries, driven by a passion for their transformative power in communities. Big ideas, innovation, and exploring the future of library services are her jam. She loves how these spaces bring people together, provide unique opportunities and resources, and adapt to meet changing needs.
