Jennisen Lucas will be among the speakers and will address self censorship. Jennisen is the District Librarian for Park County School District #6 in Cody, Wyoming, and currently serves as the President of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL). She has been a school librarian for 20 years, has achieved National Board Certification, and been an active member of the Wyoming Library Association and AASL by serving on a variety of committees.

While the target audience is school librarians, there is an interesting mix of speakers addressing a variety of topics.

Pre-recorded videos for discussion will be available from Dr. Stephen Krashen, Dr. Debbie Reese, Steve Potash, and other notables.

This will be a mix of synchronous and asynchronous sessions with full recordings and replay for everything so librarians can join as they are able and tune in later to catch up on what they missed.
