isolate individuals or groups of people, destabilize governments, and foment anarchy.
"Fake news" may be inaccurate, dishonest,
misleading, intentionally untrue, and even
intended to damage the paradigm of factual
information. But is it illegal? Is it protected by
the First Amendment? Can "fake news" - or
suppressing it - undermine our democratic
way of life?
Sunday, June 24
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM:
"Get Moving in Your Library - Physical
Literacy, Yoga, and More! With Jenn Carson
and Katie Scherrer"
Morial Convention Center, Room 356
By helping patrons view the library in a
new way, movement-based programs bring
new people into libraries, help promote community health, and stimulate literacy for children and adults alike. And getting started with
initiatives like yoga storytimes or an "earth
walk" doesn't require any previous experience
or even necessarily a dedicated space. Join
librarians and professional yoga teachers Katie
Scherrer and Jenn Carson as they explore how
to incorporate movement-based programming in your library's initiatives.
10:30 - 11:00 a.m.
"Transform and Thrive: Ideas to Invigorate
Your Library and Your Community With

Dorothy Stoltz, James Kelly, and Lynn
Wheeler"
ALA Store (near shuttle bus entrance)
Successful libraries prioritize an organizational approach that encourages library staff
to work with each other as well as the community to create opportunities to thrive. That
may sound airy and abstract, but it boils down
to applying a handful of straightforward principles, which include intelligent risk-taking,
learning the right things, respect and goodwill,
fulfilling the vision of library director, and
activating creative thinking. Join Dorothy
Stoltz, James Kelly, and Lynn Wheeler, coauthors of the new book Transform and Thrive,
as they lead a brainstorming session for how to
apply these principles to real-world situations.
11:00 - 11:30 a.m.
"LGBTQAI+ Books for Children and
Teens With Christina Dorr and Lizabeth
Deskins"
ALA Store (near shuttle bus entrance)
The rich and varied body of literature for
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, asexual/allied and intersexed young
people is discussed in this free program led by
Christina Dorr and Lizabeth Deskins.
1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Screening of the film "the public" and Q &
