Lightning Talk: Failing Forward (In-Person) RCLS HQ, 619 Rte 17M, Middletown, NY 10940 Thursday, August 21, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm Not every program, event or policy is a roaring success. Sometimes they just do not work out the way we hoped. Sometimes they can be a quiet disaster. This Lightning Talk is going to provide a space where you can share those experiences and turn them into learning gold for your colleagues. In turn, we hope participants will discover they are not alone, and the power of library community can overcome any challenges. |

Welcome Pearl River Library Director Nancy Aravecz Shah Prior to taking the helm at the Pearl River Public Library, Nancy Shah served as Director of the Florham Park Public Library in New Jersey. There, she was focused on weaving the Library into the social fabric of town by crafting thoughtful outreach and programs for people of all ages, building a Friends of the Library organization from the ground up, and developing a diverse team of energetic do-gooders. Most recently, she led that library through a comprehensive renovation of its children's wing. She has also served as a Senior Librarian at the Jefferson Market and Mid-Manhattan branches of The New York Public Library, and did a brief stint working at the Fales Library and Special Collections at NYU Bobst. Nancy resides in Maplewood, NJ with her husband, two kids (aged 6 and 3), and fluffy white dog named Nimbus. When she's not doing library things, Nancy enjoys quilting, dancing, cooking, and spending time outdoors at the Jersey Shore and Sullivan Catskills. |
