Session

Is it possible to turn the library into a literary laboratory? At Litlab we invite university students to use a design thinking process to play with literary formats, engage with evolving literary experiences and test their experiments with high school students in the library. 

This session will introduce you to LitLab and ideas for how to do something similar at your library. You’ll get the opportunity to try LitLab yourself and then experience some of the workshops developed by students.
