The document summarizes the experiences of the Brooklyn Public Library and Darien Public Library in holding unconferences, which are informal professional development events for library staff. The unconferences allowed staff to discuss new ideas and issues in an open environment outside traditional conference structures. Key topics included improving communication, transparency, and training opportunities. Participant feedback was very positive, and the unconferences helped foster a culture of innovation and staff engagement. Both libraries saw benefits and have continued the unconference model for professional development.
