 Session One:

 Mihi Whakatau and PLNZ Waiata
 Chair's opening remarks

 Cultural Institutions as Democratic Spaces: In her address, Courtney will explore how and why   museums have changed over the last 30 years in relation to the changing nature and needs of our society, and   where our service as cultural institutions may grow in the future.

 Guest Speaker | Kaikōrero manuhiri
 Proudly sponsored by bibliotheca
 Professor Chris Gallavin, Chief Executive Officer, Sisters of Compassion Group, Adjunct   Professor of Law, Massey University. Performance Poet.

 Hate speak vs. freedom of speech, and the role of public libraries in the debate. 

 Chris believes that people don't wake up in the morning and think "I'm going to sprout hate speak today." They   believe they are expressing their opinion, and feelings about those things which matter to them. But where do   we draw the line when it is crossed, and how do we facilitate discussion on issues rather than have people pick   sides? Do not miss this session!

Workshop: Historic Data Collection

 Brilliant Data: National Data Collection

 Facilitators: PLNZ member, Tiffany Daubitz with Colin Read.

 The value of historical data hinges on correct, reliable, and comparable data. This session will guide you through our new data collection tool in which you can correct your library statistics, view a year-by-year comparison of your library’s stats and compare those to the   national data. With this information, you will be able to tell your library’s story and create strategies for these changing times.
