Agenda:
Throughout the day, we will alternate between keynote addresses and table talks. Everyone will be encouraged to contribute major ideas, which will be gathered during the event and beyond as part of a collection of innovative strategies for research, action, implementation, and demonstration—efforts aimed at placing the school library at the center of teaching and learning. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet, share, and co-create ideas with a variety of individuals throughout the day. We'll also enjoy boxed lunches, coffee available throughout the event, dinner together, and a final "idea extravaganza" to close out the day.
