Preparing for the Future Today: Anticipating the Challenges Ahead, Marcellus Turner, (The Seattle Public Library)
The Seattle Public Library has embarked on a future-readying library project to look at the significant forces that will impact what we do and how we do it over the next decade. SPL is reviewing future trends and influences and talking with experts to understand emerging technologies, the futures of work and education, and consumer expectations among others to understand how they will influence our work. In so doing, we hope to prepare for this future in terms of service as a fully-focused (and ready) library FOR the future.

Travel with the presenters through a variety of trends and quick scenarios that we should be considering as think about the future of our libraries.
