Join Library Journal, School Library Journal and school and public library leaders from across the country for our second annual convening on school district and public library partnerships.

This two-day event will explore the many benefits of partnering across institutions, to drive equitable access to information, improve community outcomes, and achieve learning goals.

The event’s arc will follow the continuum of collaboration from informal partnerships to fully-integrated services and will take a deep dive into impact and benefits to deliver learning outcomes for participants.

Time will be allotted for networking, tours, and discussion groups so you can make meaningful connections and collaborate with other participants.

We are planning a robust agenda that includes the following faculty of speakers. We hope you’ll join us to be a part of the dialog!
