Thursday, December 3, 2026 | Online | 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM

Join library professionals, educators, and community leaders for a dynamic day of learning focused on media literacy, artificial intelligence, misinformation, and strategies for strengthening informed communities.

As AI tools become increasingly integrated into everyday life, libraries play a critical role in helping patrons navigate information, evaluate sources, and engage thoughtfully with emerging technologies. This event will explore today's rapidly changing information landscape while providing practical tools, resources, and frameworks that librarians can use in their work.

Participants will hear from nationally recognized experts, engage in discussions on health and wellness misinformation, explore evolving AI guidance for libraries, and participate in interactive breakout sessions focused on real-world applications and community engagement.
