The Corporate Librarian has a newfound respect for event planners, after poking around various library websites to see what kind of meeting space they have.
- Brooklyn Public Library: Might be a possibility, looking at their meeting space policies. Brooklyn is very much unknown territory to the Corporate Librarian, apart from a few days spent apartment-hunting and visiting various places the writer H.P. Lovecraft lived in or wrote about back in the late 90s.
- METRO: As noted previously, is already busy with workshops of their own (but are willing to help with promotion, which is very much appreciated)
- New York Public Library: Requires the purchasing of insurance, no promotion/signage etc. except within the rented space and with the expression permission of NYPL, invitations and promotional materials (including press materials) referring to the NYPL must be reviewed by the NYPL first
- Pratt School of Information: Requires either student involvement or the purchasing of insurance
Judging from past Library Camps, the Corporate Librarian is thinking he should plan on about 50 people attending, and try to get a space with Wi-Fi access (another reason to investigate BPL).
Once the Corporate Librarian has a space lined up, next comes arranging deals with a local hotel. Then, at long last, he can feel confident posting details to the Library 2.0 Wiki.
