Library staff facilitated four community conversations in April and May and found there was an interest in having a community read to help create a feeling of inclusiveness, welcome people to the library and promote literacy. The librarians were tasked with not only choosing a title, but working as a team to create four months of programming and promotion of the book. The community read was dubbed, Largo Turns a Page (LTAP), to indicate not only the sentiment expressed in the conversations, but to kick off the library's centennial to be celebrated from 2015-2016.
Earlier in the year, the Greater Largo Library Foundation agreed to fund a program called, "Ipads for Innovation," to purchase Ipads for staff to improve technology skills, increase productivity and provide a means to create exciting programs and promote them effectively. The librarians are using an app called, Asana, to facilitate planning, communicating and executing LTAP. So far, they have created a time line, publicity, and communication about the plans for programs.
Here is an example of using Asana for a major initiative like LTAP:
