Our Vision
Vision Statement: NEKLS and its member libraries are leaders and innovators in providing exemplary library services.

A few examples of innovation:
• My Kansas Library on the Web -- helping libraries throughout the state maintain a professional-looking and up-to-date web presence
• NExpress - a shared automation system (using KOHA)
• Courier delivery Visit our website for more details

We believe that small libraries can do everything big libraries can do.

We feel that civilians living in a small remote town should have access to the same
resources as civilians living in an urban area.

We believe education is empowerment and we
prioritize continuing education for library staff and trustees.

Why choose Kansas? What’s here besides outstanding libraries?
QuickTime™ and a decompressor

We’ll show you that Kansas is not as flat as a pancake…
…at least northeastern KS is not.

Osawatomie, KS
We have the Davis Memorial.
What is the Davis Memorial, you may ask….When Sarah Davis died, her husband wanted her to be memorialized, so he bought a gravestone, but soon decided that wasn’t enough, so he kept adding and adding
and adding until now there are 11 life size statues of John and Sarah Davis made of Italian marble, many stone urns and a marble canopy that is reported as weighing
over 50 tons.

QuickTime™ and a decompressor

Each workshop will provide you with an opportunity to
impact library directors and trustees from throughout the
region.

- One workshop will be held in an urban library.- One workshop will be held at the system office in Lawrence.- Three workshops will be held in rural libraries in the region.
All five workshops will be open to all directors and trustees from libraries in the northeast region.

You’ll interact with directors and trustees from urban libraries and
from tiny rural libraries -- in the same
workshop.

How many proposals offer you the opportunity to sleep in?
This one does!

Because this workshop is for
trustees (and most of them
have day jobs), these workshops will not start until
5:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday.

Your days on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday would
be free for exploring.
We would help arrange library tours and visits to off the beaten path attractions and eateries.

Friday’s workshop will be held mid-day, which provides an option for those who would
rather not attend one at night.

A picnic style buffet is part of each workshop, because we know the group that eats together learns
together.
(We have a reputation for serving delicious food at our events. It’s important!)
QuickTime™ and a decompressor

Participants will be expecting a workshop that is:
• Hands-on and interactive
• Practical yet inspiring
• Engaging
• Fun!
We want to help trustees be knowledgeable advocates for libraries.
QuickTime™ and a decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
We want a change of pace from the gloom and doom topics that have been so
prevalent in the current economic crisis.
This is not about making do; this is about making a difference.

Help us create the dynamic libraries of tomorrow.
QuickTime™ and a decompressor

Provide the “fresh eyes” that can help us really see our communities so we can ensure that our services
and resources reflect what is truly
wanted and needed.
QuickTime™ and a decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Help us understand what
we can stop doing today in order to
redirect resources to more innovative
and relevant
services.
