Morning Session (Laura Klain)

Working in libraries should bring joy but lately it has been a struggle to find those happy moments.  Laura Klain, Life Coach, will join us to help us focus on the positive parts of our library roles.  Laura has worked in libraries during her career so she gets us!

Why Democracy? (Josh Duclos)

Democracy is taken to be an obvious good. It often seems like the one thing we can agree on in a political debate.  This talk will do three things: (1) explain what democracy is; (2) explain why serious historical and contemporary thinkers have distrusted democracy; and (3) explore the best contemporary arguments in favor of democracy. 

Wrap up Session

A chance for us all to discuss the confidentiality law changes, share ideas and some potential best practices before we head home.
