Step into your superpower and join fellow school librarians and paraprofessionals for Beyond the Cape: The Power of School Libraries, a dynamic conference celebrating the extraordinary impact library professionals have on students, campuses, and communities.

This superhero-themed professional learning experience invites participants to go beyond the cape and discover the real powers that drive successful school library programs—leadership, creativity, collaboration, and a passion for literacy. Throughout the day, you will embark on a transformative journey through engaging sessions and interactive workshops designed to strengthen your skills and energize your work as a library professional.

Participants will explore powerful strategies and practical tools for topics such as book repair, library management, engaging programming, teacher collaboration, successful book fairs, parent and family outreach, conducting engaging read-alouds, and much more. Each session is designed to help you unlock new ideas, strengthen your library program, and return to your campus ready to inspire the next generation of readers and learners.

This Teaching & Learning professional learning opportunity will provide content, materials, and actionable strategies to support educators in meeting the diverse needs of students across their districts. Whether you are a librarian or paraprofessional, you play a vital role in shaping a culture of literacy and learning—and this conference will help you harness that power.

Because in school libraries, heroes aren’t just in comic books… they’re behind the circulation desk, collaborating in classrooms, and helping every student discover their superpower.
