Current practitioners share experiences and ideas, and then facilitate speed-dating protocols allowing session participants to dive deeper to envision and plan empowering learning opportunities of their own. Be ready to be engaged and to leave EMPOWERED!

As those who have faced book banning attempts and related legislative efforts know, the experience is often isolating and stressful.

School library orientation usually means two things: rules and catalog tutorials. For my students, this model was ineffective, so I reworked my orientation to emphasize how students intuitively use the library to give them the skills they need to be successful and independent. I flipped the script to emphasize efficient browsing and being a reflective reader rather than policies and procedures. I'll share how I start my year and build library visits to foster independent library users.
