a proposal for a session illustrating how you and your library are the sparks that spread innovation, collaboration, literacy and more throughout your school! The conference program committee is seeking proposals that illustrate how you foster an inclusive

Friday, November 6th from 8:30-9:30am and will help us kick off our conference. Idea Lab presentations are short visual presentations where attendees can rotate throughout the hour and will take place in the exhibit hall. Presenters should have a visual representation
of their topic on their own device and a short (~5 minute) prepared speech with all the highlights. This is a great way to get your feet wet if you’ve never presented at conference before or to share a great, simple idea that may not lend itself to being a
concurrent session.</span></p>
