The Future Ready Librarians® Summit is a hands-on, collaborative learning experience designed to empower school librarians as leaders of innovation, equity, and instructional transformation. Using the updated Future Ready Librarians® Framework 3.0 as our roadmap, participants will explore how librarians can shape the future of teaching and learning by supporting multiple literacies, guiding responsible AI use, protecting the freedom to read, and strengthening instructional partnerships. Through interactive discussions, small-group design activities, and practical goal-setting, librarians will engage deeply with the six key “edges” of the framework. Together, we’ll map a personalized leadership journey that equips librarians to foster collaboration, elevate student creativity and voice, and build future-ready learning environments.

Why settle for worksheets when students can become authors, designers, and publishers? In this interactive session, explore how Adobe Express and Book Creator spark storytelling through text, images, audio, and video. Walk away with ready-to-use templates, strategies, and publishing ideas for every learner with voice, creativity, and confidence!

In this fast-paced session, the presenters will share ways to empower your library program and school community with AI. With the AI tools and resources we now have access to, librarians can use AI through administrative tasks, with students, and in supporting teachers and teaching throughout the school community.

This session equips educators and librarians with the tools and strategies needed to support students in becoming ethical, informed, and empowered digital citizens. As technology continues to evolve, so must our approach to teaching media literacy and digital ethics in both classroom and community settings.
