Our experienced public library practitioner discusses business thinking and strategies for libraries and uses them as a framework for looking at tech trends and new service opportunities for libraries like VR and robotics, both of which his library are heavily engaged with. Hargrove shares the secrets of his library’s Playground—a catch-all for Library of Things and STEAM. His blend of business principles and new technology trend analysis to create services and offer new collections provides insights and ideas which you can recreate in your community!
