At the intersection of information, education, technology, and community, libraries and librarians are well-positioned to envision and shape the future. What are our brightest opportunities? How can we support our communities?

Explore 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 their visions for libraries of the future.
