🚀 Ready to lead your school library into the future? Register for a dynamic two-day summer institute designed by librarians, for librarians, all about Leveraging AI Ethically to Enrich and Innovate School Library Programs. Featuring Lindsay Cesari, a National Board Certified NYS School Librarian, who leads this institute through an insightful exploration of AI and Media Literacy. With over 40K followers on TikTok as @bee_in_the_library, she has become a leading voice in the AI and LibraryTok space.

👓 We’ll demystify how AI works, dive deep into ethical dilemmas, and tackle the big questions like whether the academic research paper is on life support. You’ll explore how AI is reshaping media literacy, academic integrity, and even the books lining your shelves.

🧠 You'll get hands-on with the PreK–12 AI Scope and Sequence developed by the School Library Systems Association of NY, and help build a collaborative bank of AI-infused lessons. Bonus: we’ll spotlight picture books that help even your youngest learners make sense of AI.

🎯 Whether you're just starting with AI or already experimenting, this institute will leave you empowered to lead conversations, support your school community, and shape the future of library learning.

📚 Let’s explore, question, and create together. AI isn’t the future it’s the now, and this is your chance to lead the charge.
