Co-sponsored by the iSchool and the Arizona Library Association, the discussion will take place on Wednesday, February 4 in Phoenix.

Panelists include two members of the iSchool community – Senior Associate Dean and immediate past-president of the American Library Association (ALA) Barbara Stripling, and former adjunct professor and current ALA president-elect Sari Feldman.

“This panel discussion will offer views of how 21^st century librarians are creating innovative programs using cutting edge technologies,” said Small. “Librarians are building communities by sparking and guiding lifelong learning, and offering opportunities for creativity, production and entrepreneurship to everyone from young children to seniors.”
