  Exploring AI Tools for Library Services
  

  Curious about AI tools but not sure where to start? Join us for a hands-on “AI Petting Zoo” designed specifically for library workers.

  During this interactive session, 3–4 colleagues will each demonstrate a favorite AI tool they’re using in their work. After each short demonstration, you’ll have 15–20 minutes to explore the tool yourself on your own device. Presenters will be available to answer questions and help you experiment in real time.

  This is a practical, low-pressure opportunity to try new tools, ask questions, and consider how AI might support your library’s services and workflows.

  Important: Participants must bring their own laptop or tablet.
  Basic familiarity with web browsing and logging into online tools is recommended.

  Come ready to click, test, and explore!

  Questions? Contact Eileen Gilbert, READS conference committee,  at gilmanlibrarydirector@gmail.com

  Registration is limited to 30 in person attendees.

  Collaboration, Connection & Community Building in Conway!

  Please join us for the 2026 Small Libraries Summit on Monday, May 11th from 9:30 AM–3:30 PM at the Conway Public Library—a full day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration designed specifically for librarians serving communities with populations under 2,000.

  Presented by the NH State Library and the NH Library Association, this summit brings together small library leaders to share practical strategies, strengthen connections, and explore solutions tailored to the unique opportunities and challenges of small libraries.

  We are pleased to welcome Maria Sanders, who will present “Libraries as Third Spaces.” This engaging keynote will explore how small libraries can serve as vital community hubs—welcoming spaces beyond home and work where connection, learning, and belonging thrive.

  Other topics include:

  • Recruiting and retaining trustees, Friends, and volunteers through meaningful relationship building

  • Policy review and board support

  • Building security and safety

  • Building maintenance and long-term planning

  • Partnering with other libraries, municipal departments, and community organizations

  Attendees will leave with practical tools, fresh ideas, and new professional connections to strengthen their libraries and communities.

  Please observe the following registration dates: 

  March 4th -10th - Libraries serving 1,000 or less

  March 11th - 17th - Libraries serving 1,500 or less
