<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Explore with us some of the key trends that point toward specific futures for libraries, and engage in conversations with civic, social, and education innovators to learn more
about what they think about the future, and how libraries can become an integral part of their future visions. Libraries and librarians are well-positioned to envision the future – at the intersection of information, education, technology, and community –
and this dialogue will help bring our best thinking together with the exciting visions of our collaborators, allies, and partners.
