• A series of Joy Stops located around the conference space.

• Each Joy Stop offers:

  • a short thought about joy

  • an optional playful or reflective invitation

• At each stop, you're invited to share a small Joy Nugget - your own tiny artifact of the moment.

• Use this website as your home base.

• Explore the list of Joy Stop locations below. Pay attention to the availability of the spaces you are visiting.

• When you arrive at a Joy Stop, scan the QR code (or use the short URL) nearby.

• Read the prompt and try the activity if you'd like.

• Create a Joy Nugget - a word, phrase, poem, etc. - a short reflection that captures what the moment meant to you.

• Keep your Joy Nuggets in any way that works for you.

• When you're ready, submit your Joy Nugget(s).

A Joy Nugget is a brief written reflection shared in response to a Joy Stop. It may take the form of a word, phrase, paragraph, poem, or a description of something you noticed or felt.

• 1. Everyone who participates and submits at least 1 Joy Nugget is a winner and gets the TCDL's beautiful "I Found Joy at TCDL 2026" sticker. Please come to the check-in table to collect your sticker at any time during the conference. 

  2. Anyone (or group) who submits at least 3 Joy Nuggets is entered into a raffle. Raffle eligibility will close at 10 am on Thursday, June 4 (day 3 of the conference). Raffle winners will be announced in the Atrium on day 3 during the 11:15 - 11:30 am break. Winners must be present to collect their prize.
