Cyber Corner: Huddle for Libraries
Located In the Exhibit Hall
Be part of an open, unconference-style discussion where we explore our library hopes, challenges, and ideas for navigating the road ahead. As actor Brad Pitt said before the 2025 Super Bowl, "The huddle is a metaphor for our history, for the power found in our shared purpose. It's in the will to imagine flight and then soar skyward.” So, let’s huddle up, share our thoughts, and envision the future together. What are the biggest dreams, fears, and uncertainties you face within your library community? Is it whether our governments and communities continue to support libraries? Is it how technology will help us meet future needs? Is it how we prepare our staff and communities for an ever-evolving world? Is it how we will continue to foster learning and discovery for all? Join the conversation, share out-of-the-box ideas, network with colleagues, and contribute to the Computers in Libraries research shaping our future.

*The Cyber Corner Library Huddle will be open during posted exhibit hall hours.
