SUMMARY:Future-Ready Youth: Preparing Our Patrons to Navigate the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Children and teens are often eager adopters of new technology\, but access doesn’t always mean understanding. As we navigate the age of AI\, important questions arise: How is artificial intelligence impacting our youth\, and what does the future hold? More importantly\, how can we\, as library professionals\, empower our patrons to understand and engage with this consequential technology? \nJoin Nick Tanzi\, nationally recognized library technology consultant\, for this follow up workshop to the YS AI Challenge. \nRegistration will be emailed out on FLLS listservs the first week of April.  Look for a flyer with registration QR code and link in the delivery week of March 31.

SUMMARY:Outreach\, Advocacy\, and Marketing: Understanding the Venn Diagram
DESCRIPTION:Outreach\, Advocacy\, and Marketing are often used interchangeably\, but they are three distinct activities. Learn the unique and important roles they play in furthering a library’s strategic plan\, including to what degree they are separate and when they overlap. Having a clear understanding of each and how they interact will help administration and staff make intentional\, mission-focused decisions on library services\, programs\, and materials to best support and serve their communities. Presented by Suzanne Macaulay. \nPresenter Bio: Suzanne Macaulay is the Program Director at the OWWL Library System which supports library services in Ontario\, Wayne\, Wyoming\, and Livingston Counties. Her responsibilities include Outreach Coordinator\, Youth Services Consultant\, State Aid for Library Construction\, Continuing Education\, and Social Media & Communications. She received her BA in English from Molloy University and MLIS from LIU Post. During non-library time\, she runs\, officiates lacrosse\, and is a very supportive but very non-shouty sports parent. \n

SUMMARY:Practicing Empathetic Listening with People Different from You
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun and revealing intergenerational dialogue. After reviewing active listening techniques\, we will practice these in small groups\, first with those from our own generation\, and then with participants from different generations. Participants will self-identify in this challenge by choice\, interactive workshop\, and will gain comfort and understanding in working with younger and older people. You also will learn tactics for inviting people different from you in other ways to a world that promotes human dignity for all people. Ultimately you will walk away from this session with the seeds of courage to work with the marginalizing demands made by some patrons. Come with a song that represents your generation! Presented by Mike Bishop. \nPresenter Bio: Mike Bishop Ph.D. is an educator and coach who has facilitated interactive workshops with a focus on human development\, human rights\, and human dignity for 25 years. He is a Freeville resident who organizes with his White neighbors against White supremacy through his activism\, research\, teaching\, and writing. Originally from a small town in western New York\, he spent seven years as a youth counselor leading adventure-based activities. He then worked in higher education for more than 20 years leading interactive workshops\, creating campus-community partnerships\, facilitating dialogues across difference\, and designing social action leadership programs. Mike works with stories to nurture anti-racist allies\, growing social movements to challenge policies that dehumanize Black\, Indigenous\, and other people of color in rural New York state. He currently serves as the managing director of the Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative. \n
