Southern Library Support Staff Conference 2026

A journey through one inspiring art exhibition centered on life changing reading journeys told through an unconventional lens. This exhibition shines a light on the often solitary journey of readership by blending storytelling and visual design into an engaging viewer experience. The personal accounts incorporated into each design have inspired continuous conversation and a wildly popular interactive addition to the exhibition.
In this session, we will discuss the integration of visual art in library interiors, exhibition planning, and design strategies for nurturing meaningful discourse and unity amongst staff and patrons. Participants will gain practical ideas to nurture connection and vitality within their library communities.
