A recap of the LibLearnX 2023
So what were the moments that transpired throughout LibLearnX: The Library Learning Experience?
Let’s try to recap the most significant parts of the LibLearnX conference that brought the best learning experience. People across different sectors of the industry got to witness intimate discussions, exchanging ideas that greatly benefited the future of libraries. Other than that, the event aimed to impact the surrounding communities where each attendee was from positively.
Fresh book titles on display
The LLX 2023 event wasn’t just all about the usual book displays. Attendees got to browse through brand-new books from various authors worldwide. Thanks to ReadersMagnet, authors got to share their stories and gain exposure on the internet and in physical events like these.
And since we can’t possibly bring hundreds of authors in person, we still ensure that their books are on display. Moreover, new authors got to take the spotlight and entice readers into their latest body of work. ReadersMagnet aims to bring new books to many book fairs not just nationwide but also across the world.
Authors’ book signing
The ALA LLX’s learning experience included a personal meet-up with some renowned authors. With our commitment to bridging authors to readers, six new and established authors graced the event with their pens. Authors like Thomas Sheets, Dr. Charles Sampson, Stephen Reger, Yvonne Bronstorph, Dianne Lane, and Thomas Mcloughlin were present to sign their books from eager readers.
Interactive spaces for all book lovers
With the help of these sessions being in an intimate setting, the audience could share their thoughts and ideas with key figures in the library industry. Through these exchanges, everyone was on equal ground with all ears, open hearts, and minds, which led to new horizons in the future of libraries and learning. Other than that, fellow authors get to connect to broaden their network and strengthen their industry positions.
Did we have a simple event where we merely displayed books on a shelf and had a few author-signing sessions? Think again!
The Scavenger Hunt, organized by ReadersMagnet, was designed to gather audiences to make book browsing more fun. To hype things up, participants went on a quest to search for book titles and authors with a Kindle gadget as the ultimate prize for the winner. The learning experience wasn’t dull because of the activities the LibLearnX conference had in store for all its attendees.
Other highlights from the learning experience by LibLearnX 2023
As it was the season’s most awaited event for book lovers, everyone built lasting partnerships and heard various thoughts from the most brilliant leaders, authors, and experts. It was a productive time for readers and authors alike as they met keynote speakers and joined engaging sessions that enhanced their learning experience.
The LLX Marketplace
Various exhibitors, including ReadersMagnet, put up their newest book titles, innovative technologies, and book-related services for attendees’ easy access. Everyone was able to celebrate their love for literature through a learning experience of a lifetime. And speaking of celebrations, there were other segments during the conference that superbly took place too.
Virtual sessions
Even though face-to-face events are back, that doesn’t mean flying to the LLX conference. Attendees can still enjoy the unique learning experience virtually. Thanks to the advancement of technology, we can host more people without making them come to the conference. Of course, it applied to those living farther from the venue. With that, we could include everyone in our magnificent event and enjoy what LibLearnX has in store.
Giving back to the community
The learning experience wasn’t just about books, authors, and readers. It didn’t stop within the corners of the conference, as ReadersMagnet and ALA joined forces to give back to their respective communities. Through the efforts of the ALA Gives Back Program, various communities have received immense help and access to varied learning opportunities, something that we are very proud of.
All of these wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of ReadersMagnet and ALA to narrow the gap between authors and readers towards the community and the world.
