A Message from President Gene Coppola
Dear Colleagues,
One of my heroes is Robert Kennedy. He stood for ideals that are still true today. He
once said, “There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream
of things that never were, and ask why not?” It seems more time is spent on churning
up excuses for not doing something rather than reasons for doing it. Yes, there will be
unmovable obstacles. Yes, there will be moments of flailing at windmills. Yes, you will
be the only one to see it. And yes, there will be times that others will see it too. That is
why my theme for 2015-2016 is “Why not?”
Why not collaborate with your opposite? Why not take a field trip instead of a
meeting? Why not imagine? Who’s going to stop you? Why not try one more time?
Thomas Edison tested over 3,000 filaments before he came up with his version of a
practical light bulb.
As librarians, we’re part of the backbone for enlightenment and growth. We serve not
just to improve the quality of life but also fill those essential needs. Kennedy also said,
“All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don't. And
if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with
opportunity.” I agree.

what nearly four decades in the military taught her about effective
leadership, revealing the core principles that guided her to her historic
appointment. Through engaging stories and battle-tested insights, she’ll give

Past, Present, Future: The Impact of Youth Services on
Young Adults
Granada C
Library staff plan all sorts of events for teens to encourage active library
participation, but what do teens think about this? Do these activities
have any impact on their lives? What will the teens remember about
their experiences at the public library? Will they become library support-
ers? Or will these young people never enter the library doors again?
Meet present and former teens and learn what has impacted their lives
in regards to YA programs and activities.
Speakers: Jana Fine, Florida Division of Library and Information Services;
Mary Whiting, Volusia County Public Library; Angela Wilhelm, Philip

Simmer Down! Conflict De-escalation Strategies for Mitigating Critical or Tense Situations
People love libraries, in part, because they are inclusive, welcoming and peaceful. But when that peace is disrupted by a
difficult, frustrated, belligerent or even dangerous person, staff must know what to do.
On a daily basis librarians face a wide variety of situations that must be resolved; patrons who quarrel or fight over resources, or who fight or
quarrel with each other, staff members who are in conflict with one another, patrons who are in an altered state of mind and disruptive and
patrons who are simply doing things at the library that are prohibited. This interactive workshop, hosted by a panel of experts, focuses on verbal
and non-verbal communication strategies and defensive actions that librarians can use to manage and de-escalate conflicts. Listen to presenta-
tions from law enforcement and public and academic library experts on current practices and participate in role playing activities to help you be
prepared in the event that you are faced with a critical situation.
Speakers: Senior Deputy Dennis Terrero, Volusia County Sheriff's Office; Barbara Pickell, Library Director at the Clearwater Public Library; Susan-
nah Miller, Associate Dean of Administrative Services and Renaine Julian, former Security Supervisor, Florida State University.

Practical Strategies for Library Advocates Using Social
Networks
Granada GH
In 2014, voters in 77 library-funding initiatives voted to approve public
library funding in campaigns featuring consistent contact with funders
and strategic use of messages to demonstrate the importance of
libraries. This program presents an analysis of the 2013 Miami-Dade
County social network campaign that illustrates:
 How library advocates use social networks for successful
campaigns
 Messages shared by public officials and library advocates
 Values shared by participants
 Responsible and effective use of social media
Speaker: Laura Spears, Florida State University
Facilitating Wellness @ your library
Granada I
This program highlights an innovated way in which the library can be
part of a community by taking a holistic approach to facilitating well-
ness and addressing increasing community health concerns. A panel of
experts will discuss how the New Port Richey Public Library (NPRPL)
spearheaded a gmo-free, heirloom seed library as well as a local farm-
ers market dubbed Tasty Tuesdays (TT). TT engages organic growers to
share harvests as well as micro-farming instruction. Federal grant
funding supports NPRPL's acceptance of EBT SNAP benefits and incen-
tives. NPRPL participates in a nationwide study, surveying dietary
changes among incentive recipients and has supported community
well-being for adults and youth alike for over a decade. Classes include
Smoothie Smackdown, various Martial Arts, Meditation, Eco-Films,
Tapping/EFT, and health-based opportunities for staff.
Speakers: Susan Dillinger, Jessica Meredith, Stephanie Jones, Ann
Scott and Debbie Plotkin, New Port Richey Public Library
FLA One Book, One State: Condominium
Organized by the Leadership Development Committee
Plaza Real C
In the spirit of this year’s conference theme, Why Not? FLA President,
Gene Coppola, selected a work of fiction instead of a professional
development book for the 2016 One Book One State program. How-
ever, Condominium does touch upon concepts of organizational lead-
ership and personal leadership styles, but more importantly, this book
showcases the unique and marvelous social structure, geography and
fragile ecosystem of our state. And it’s a fun read! This will be a panel
discussion composed of past FLA presidents who have enthusiastically
volunteered to participate as they did for our program last year.
Tech for All! Innovative Public Library Technology
Training Programming for Targeted Audiences
Vista del Mar
Public libraries have been in the forefront of providing technology
literacy programming in an increasingly digital world. And, the com-
munities that libraries serve are becoming more diverse in language
background, skill level, and interests; this necessitate going beyond
the one-size-fits-all approach for public training programs. Learn how
the Jacksonville Public Library E-Services and Digital Access depart-
ment developed, promoted, and successfully implemented the Com-
puter Classes in Spanish-the first free program of its kind in northeast
FL, Technology for Seniors, Tech for ESL Learners, and the Urban Li-
brary Council Innovation Award winning Conversational Language
Learning series which employed cultural immersion strategies in train-
ing and marketing JPL’s online language learning product. Participants
will gain knowledge in recruiting e-volunteers, using existing resources
to develop cost-efficient programs as well as working with local commu-
nity partners. These types of services open up numerous possibilities in
truly offering services that are meaningful and present technology train-
ing in a fun, welcoming environment.

ron, Jacksonville Public Library

Why Not? Libraries = Education: Adult Literacy Through
Libraries (ALL): An Action Agenda
Granada C
In Florida, 1 in 5 adults lack basic literacy skills, we are the third lowest
state in the nation. In this session we'll explore how to implement the
2014 Adult Literacy through Libraries (ALL) Action Agenda developed by
a task force appointed by the American Library Association and ProLit-
eracy. A task force member will facilitate group discussions on technol-
ogy and digital literacy, partnerships, planning, raising awareness and
the library’s educational role. A volunteer tutor trainer, representing
New Readers Press, will cover GED test changes and trends in literacy
collections.
Speakers: Sandy Newell, Florida Department of State and Glenda
Norvell, Board Member with the Volunteers for Adult Literacy in Florida
and the Gadsden County Public Library Friends and Florida Representa-
tive for New Reader
There's No Stopping Us Now! Why Systematic Staff
Training Keeps the Organization Moving Forward.
Granada E
Libraries have shifted from repositories of materials to centers of inno-
vation and community-based learning. Many library services changed
to accommodate the shift; some staff find this difficult and perplexing
and it has led to technological wariness and resistance to change. To
address this we developed a continuous in-house professional devel-
opment program. We will discuss barriers and enablers to establishing
a program and unintended benefits, such as reducing perceived ine-
qualities among staff, increasing trust, and empowering staff.
Speakers: Lisandra R. Carmichael, Stephanie Weiss and Lauren
Newton, University of North Florida
Why Not Master Your Copy Rights and Responsibilities?
Granada F
Librarians need to understand the fundamentals of copyright law to
safeguard their libraries from infringement and potential lawsuits. In
this program, participants will discover how to recognize and avoid
copyright infringement, conduct a fair use analysis, and find Creative
Commons-licensed images and other freely reusable online materials.
The presenter then will walk participants through a range of library
copyright scenarios, helping you to master the fundamentals of your
copy rights and responsibilities.
Speakers: Michael Rodriguez, Hodges University
Jump Around: Motor Development for Babies and Toddlers
Granada GH
The Orange County Library System is offering a dynamic approach to
fine motor skills through early childhood programming. Events include
Baby Bash, which enables sensory development through felt boards
and art; Bubble Playtime, which allows toddlers to develop fine motor
skills while jumping and dancing; and SMART Start, which encourages
cognitive thinking through science, math, and art. These programs in-
crease a child's awareness, sensitivity, hand-eye coordination, and so-
cial skills. Why not jump up, jump up and get down at the library?
Speakers: Danielle King, Lauren Mathur and Debra Winslow;
Orange County Library System
Partners in Education: Strengthening Your Position
Granada I
Does your public library help students from nearby schools? Why not
leverage that informal relationship into an agreement with the school
system? Why not strengthen your community position and increase
your value as an educational resource? Why not increase support from
elected officials, community leaders, and school leadership? In this ses-
sion, we will discuss the nuts & bolts of the agreement, describe how the
library reached out to the school system, crafted an agreement, launched
a pilot project, and began system-wide implementation.
Speakers: Ginny Howerton, Christine Patten, Library Director and Sara

Why Not GIF It to Students?: Using Pop Culture and
Graphic Image Files to Explain the Research Process
Granada GH
Serving the undergraduate students of today is one of the
primary missions of university libraries. Teaching students the re-
search process step-by-step through an online platform is a good way
to make research approachable, and even entertaining. Learn how to
develop a web page addressing these specific needs with Wix, a free
HTML editing service. The presentation will focus on the “friendliness”
component of the tool, rooted in its presentation of video tutorials,
casual writing style, GIFS, and other iconic pop culture images.
Speaker: Jasmine Spitler, Florida State University
Censorship and Comics: Why Not?

space, no partners, and no experience? The University of Central Florida
Libraries responded to such a challenge during 2012-15 by creating a
grassroots SC program staffed by a volunteer 20-member library faculty
advisory group and creating an innovative “Research Lifecycle” model to
help define an evolving menu of SC resources and services that could be
turned on, as available, to UCF constituents.

Federal agency with over $100 million in annual research and develop-
ment expenditures to develop a plan to support increased public access
to the results of research funded by the Federal Government. These
emerging requirements are forcing researchers to reconsider how they
preserve, document and provide access to research data related to their

Why Not Host Library Programs Outside the Library?
Plaza Real C
Everyone says, “Library programs should be held at the library.” At the
Palm Beach County Library System (PBCLS) we’ve decided to take our
programs out into the community. For the second year PBCLS has
hosted Book Life, a series of events that bring books to life. Eight
books are selected and events that relate to the books are held in the
community during the fall months. The events are “loosely” tied to the
themes or topics in the books -- high tea (Longbourne by Jo Baker), an
art deco walking tour (Art Deco of Palm Beaches, by Sharon Koskoff), a
graveyard tour (Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley) are just a few exam-
ples. The presentation will focus on how the books are selected, how
we generate program ideas, develop the partnerships and engage the
community.

ness ideas. This presentation will provide everything you need to get
this program started at your library, including ideas for curriculum,
resources, and tips for connecting with business-minded volunteers.

Why Not Play Ball? When Athletes and Librarians Play
Together, Everyone Wins
Granada GH
Who are the last students you expect to see in a university
library? Probably athletes. Tight schedules structured around classes,
homework, practices, and athletic events, leave student athletes very
little free time. Because they have their own academic support struc-
ture, libraries often don’t reach out to Athletics. Join librarians and
athletic academic support staff from UNF to hear what happens when
they team up to support student success. Come prepared to share your
stories of successful collaboration with an unlikely partner.
Speakers: Stephanie Race, Lisandra Carmichael and Cat Silvers, Universi-
ty of North Florida Library; Nancy Miller, University of North Florida Ath-
