Cancelled. Inspiring Engagement: Public Programming with NLM Traveling Exhibitions

NLM Traveling Exhibitions connect audiences with NLM health information resources and bring fascinating stories about medicine, history, and society to institutions across the country. Many host venues have expanded the impact of these exhibitions by creating innovative public programs that foster community engagement.

In this webinar, you’ll get an inside look at how four traveling exhibition host venues have approached public programming. Librarians from each venue will share their experiences developing and implementing their programs, offering real-world examples to spark inspiration for your own community engagement efforts. Whether you’re considering hosting an exhibition or simply looking for fresh ideas, this session will showcase a variety of creative strategies for public programming.
