Before I retired I was the Social Media Librarian for Pima County Public Library, and the founder and moderator of Catalyst Café, a monthly library program on business and nonprofit tech, as well as one of the founders of the Library’s Idea+Space, on the 2nd floor of Main Library. I believe that American libraries are heading for a better, more inclusive golden age and am working to make that happen.
Official social media training for Pima County Public Library, created July, 2020, last updated September 2021. Part 4: Monitoring & Responding.

Library of the Future – Top Tools for Changemakers Sunday, June 26, 2016, 1:00pm - 2:30pm
Design thinking and lean startup systems are rich in low-tech tools for changemakers. Simple techniques such as affinity mapping, decision matrices, and prototyping can be used by any library staff person for the discussion of new ideas, to spark creativity, or to rejuvenate existing programs.
Session facilitators will explain how the tools work and share examples of how they have been useful in a library setting. The session will end with 30-minutes of hands-on practice with librarian-coaches.
Co-sponsored by the Library Entrepreneurship & Maker Services MIG and the Center for the Future of Libraries.
Presenters: Lisa Bunker, Social Media Librarian, Pima County Public Library; Erin Berman, Project Manager - Technology and Innovation, San Jose Public Library, and Sonya Durney, Team Leader - Business and Government, Portland Public Library.
