will give presenters the opportunity to demo a craft or other library program formula for small groups of attendees. These practical, actionable demo sessions will let programming pros share their ideas in a less intimidating, more familiar environment. Special
consideration will be given to pop-up demos that incorporate intentional accessibility for patrons of different ages and ability levels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
