North Roadshow Success: Inspiring Libraries, Sparking Ideas, and Showcasing Innovation

We are delighted to share the success of our recent North Roadshow, held at the iconic Stockroom. The event brought together library professionals from across the region for a day of learning, networking, and hands-on exploration of Bibliotheca solutions. From the moment attendees arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy and enthusiasm.

The Roadshow was carefully designed to offer interactive sessions, live product demonstrations, and expert-led discussions, providing practical insights and inspiration for library teams of all sizes.

Engaging Sessions and Thoughtful Discussions

The day featured a series of engaging sessions where attendees had the opportunity to connect with peers, share experiences, and discuss best practices in library management. Sessions sparked insightful conversations around innovation, digital transformation, and evolving community needs, helping library professionals explore new strategies to enhance services.

A highlight of the Roadshow was seeing Bibliotheca solutions in action. From smartShelf Borrow demonstrations to remoteLocker showcases, attendees experienced the practical benefits of our technology firsthand. These demos illustrated how our solutions can streamline library operations while inspiring ideas for improving services locally

Networking and Collaboration

 

Networking was a key part of the Roadshow experience. Attendees engaged in lively discussions, exchanged ideas, and built connections with colleagues from other library authorities. This collaborative environment reinforced the value of peer-to-peer learning and demonstrated how sharing experiences can drive innovation across the library sector.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Library professionals appreciated the opportunity to learn from experts, explore new technology, and discuss strategies for improving library services.

“It was so useful, interesting and just a great day. We both came away with lots of ideas. It was a great opportunity to speak to colleagues from other library authorities.”

                      – Vicky Embrey, Library Services Manager, Stoke-on-Trent

Hands-On Demonstrations

Practical, hands-on demonstrations were a cornerstone of the Roadshow. Attendees participated in interactive sessions including smartShelf Borrow demos, remoteLocker trials, and VR library tours, giving them a real sense of how these solutions can enhance everyday operations. These experiences allowed participants to see how Bibliotheca technology improves user experiences, streamlines workflows, and supports modern library services.

The Roadshow also featured Idea Lab sessions, where attendees brainstormed and collaborated on solutions to common library challenges. These sessions fostered creativity, encouraged problem-solving, and demonstrated the power of collaboration in driving library innovation.

Celebrating Library Innovation

The day concluded with a celebratory moment, marking the success of the Roadshow and the commitment of library professionals to innovation and excellence. From engaging sessions to hands-on demonstrations and collaborative discussions, the event highlighted the impact of technology and shared learning in shaping the future of libraries.

Looking Ahead

 

The North Roadshow was more than just an event—it was a reminder of the value of community, collaboration, and continuous learning in libraries. It offered attendees practical insights, inspiration for future projects, and a platform to share ideas and experiences.

We would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to making the day so memorable. Your engagement, curiosity, and willingness to share knowledge truly brought the Roadshow to life. We look forward to welcoming you to our next Roadshow and continuing the conversation about the future of library services and innovation.
