(School Library Journal)

Join thousands of librarians on August 15 for our seventh annual SLJTeen Live!virtual conference without leaving the comfort of your home (or reference* desk).

This free, daylong event will feature high-profile and up-and-coming YA authors talking about their latest titles for teens. You’ll also have the chance to get advice from innovative librarians tackling timely issues relevant to your teens and services.

This year’s theme, “Speaking Truth to Power,” centers around the exciting and impactful role that young people have in the world today and how the library is a place where they can be inspired to effect change. From the latest YA lit trends to evergreen topics in teen services, these panels will equip you with the tools, information, and book savvy you need to re-energize your programming and collections.
