September Newsletter

AKEpampas participated in Library days at Kuopio. Our website had a change of look at the beginning of the summer and our new visual look follows our logo and visual theme. New addition to the cite is a material bank. Material bank consists of loanable objects and shareable ideas, and it will grow over time from the material of other libraries as well.

In September we are visiting the libraries of Lappajärvi, Kauhava, Kaskinen, Karijoki, Mustasaari and Seinäjoki. Our field study destination is to Jyväskylä Hip Hop -library and campus library of music.

We have organized a joint meeting with AKE Lahti to the multidisciplinary leaders of libraries in both of our districts. Meetings are via Teams and it is a platform to share the experiences, fears and obstacles but also opportunities.

Guest speakers of our senior groups in September are Emmaleena Niemi from Senior surf and Yvonne Backholm-Nyberg from @geing online. Music group will have a meeting in Vaasa city library. Theme of the day is Music as a media service in libraries.

Guest speaker at Digi group is Esa Riutta who introduces into artificial intelligence in libraries.
