Abstract
Attendees will leave energized with new ideas on how to transform your physical library space into a true third space, using a UDL framework. The session demystifies the process of moving from inaccessible to accessible. It offers practical, budget-friendly tips for sourcing free items, leveraging campus relationships, and eliciting and integrating student feedback for continuous improvement. Before you know it, you too will be basking in the gentle glow of dimmable lights.

Welcome to HELIN Conference 2026! Building on last year’s conference conversations, the 2026 HELIN Conference will focus on how libraries collaborate with departments, institutions, and partners both on and beyond campus to strengthen connections and advance shared goals. The theme Collaborate to Innovate encourages presenters to share ideas, strategies, and real-world examples of collaboration that support innovation in library work, whether carefully planned or unexpectedly successful.
