SpringyCamp is a user conference with a camp-like vibe designed to be fun and informative. We will have three days of SpringyCamp this year – one day dedicated to public libraries and two days for all libraries. Recordings of the presentations will be available after camp is over.
- Presentations: Overviews of projects that Springy libraries have done, presented by the librarians and staff that created them. Sneak peeks at what is coming soon for your Springy Tools!
- We do not offer training or instruction during these sessions, but attendees are encouraged to ask questions.
- Where do our presenters come from? All presenters are volunteers. We greatly appreciate their time and effort in putting together these presentations.
- Ask Questions: Interaction makes it fun! Ask questions during the Q&A portion of each presentation. For any questions that we don't get to during SpringyCamp, presenters will provide their contact info.
- Transcription: All sessions will have live AI transcription via Zoom. Following SpringyCamp, sessions are re-transcribed for accuracy.
There is a zero-tolerance policy for trolling and rude behavior/comments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! SpringyCamp is open to all current and prospective Springshare users. Just make sure to use your institutional email when you register.
Yes! SpringyCamp is a completely free online event designed specifically for our users.
Nope! While we strongly encourage you to stay for the whole afternoon, we understand that not everyone’s schedule allows for that. You can drop in and out of SpringyCamp depending on specific sessions you want to attend. Please note that while we’ll do our best to adhere to the schedule, we can’t guarantee that we will start each presentation exactly on time so please be mindful to join SpringyCamp a few minutes before the posted start time.
We know life is busy, and with different time zones, it’s not always possible to join us in real time. If you can’t make it to the live sessions, no worries! You can still register to be notified when the recordings are available, so you won’t miss a thing.
This year at SpringyCamp, your attendance makes an impact! For every person who attends live, Springshare will donate $1 to EveryLibrary – supporting the vital work of libraries everywhere.
Attendance is counted by unique Zoom attendee links. If a group is watching together on one device, that counts as one attendee. Each individual will be counted only once across all days of SpringyCamp – so whether you attend one session or all of them, your presence equals $1 donated.
That means the more friends and colleagues you encourage to register and join on their own, the bigger the total donation will be!
About EveryLibrary
EveryLibrary is the first and only national political action committee dedicated to building voter support for libraries. They help public, school, and college libraries win funding at the ballot box, ensuring stable access for generations to come. They also stand alongside grassroots groups across the country as they defend libraries against book banning, illicit political interference, and even threats of closure.
All live attendees will get a special SpringyCamp Care Packet in the mail, with fun goodies like a postcard, bookmark, and sticker to remember your adventure.
When you register for SpringyCamp, you'll be asked to provide your mailing address. In order to receive your SpringyCamp Care Packet, you must attend SpringyCamp live through your unique Zoom attendee link. SpringyCamp Care Packets will be mailed out a few weeks after each SpringyCamp session.
Plus, if you have a LibApps account, you can visit the Springshare Lounge and request an official SpringyCamp 2025 Attendee badge for your Lounge profile!
