We don't often get this topic at conferences--any librarian who has ever had to deal with facility management issues will love this NLA pre-conference, sponsored by the Paraprofessional Section. Don't wait to sign up!
Keeping the Bricks & Mortar in Shape to Keep the Books on the Shelf
1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Location: Cornhusker Hotel
Facilitator: Francine Canfield, Baright Public Library, Ralston, NE
Cost: No charge
Learn about facilities management from experts and discover ways to manage your building more efficiently and systematically! In an interactive setting, Randy Herrick and Dave Miller from Stroh Service, a mechanical company, will discuss how to budget for maintenance costs, how to manage for capital expenditures to replace equipment, how to reduce energy consumption, and how to match maintenance needs to staffing skill sets. Randy and Dave will provide information about maintenance scheduling and equipment life cycles. After questions & answers and a break, David A. Hawes and Nancy Novak from Leo A Daly will talk about the selection of the interior features (lighting, furnishings, paint, wallpaper, carpet) and of the exterior components (brick, glass, concrete) to increase the life cycle and efficiency of a building. David and Nancy will also discuss solutions to existing building maintenance issues. All panelists will provide time for questions and answers.
