The Iowa Department for the Blind has been hosting a series of Community Forums over the last few weeks. Thank you to everyone who participated in our Des Moines and Iowa City forums. Our final forum will be held in Sioux City.
Saturday, August 3, 2019
11:00am – 1:00pm
Morningside Branch Library (Garretson Room)
4005 Morningside Avenue
Sioux City, IA 51101
At these forums, rather than speaking at people as tends to happen in a more traditional town hall format, we will be using the Community Cafe/World Cafe Method. This method encourages conversation and of collaborative dialogue around questions that matter in service to real work. We want people’s ideas on what to do and create in different parts of our library. Each table will have a staff member to record what people say, but the key is that people engage with one another and build on each other’s ideas.
The general topics we are going to ask about are: services to adults and older adults, how to best use our youth space, what would make our college and career commons most useful to job seekers, and how we can engage and sustain our new Youth Advisory Committee. We hope that you can join us for one of these events and help guide our growth and make positive changes that will improve our services for years to come.
