    Jeanne Manford--Ally, Activist, and Founder of PFLAG (Magination Press

    Praise for The Mother of A Movement 


    My parents showed families how to love and affirm their LGBTQ children. This is a beautiful celebration of my mother’s life and work, and a powerful story of the importance of allyship.

    —Suzanne Manford Swan


    Jeanne Manford spoke out publicly and fought by her gay son Morty's side at a time when it was dangerous to do so. She had strength and courage, but it was her unwavering love for her son—and fierce desire to protect him from discrimination, harassment, and harm—that inspired her activism. And now, the organization she founded, PFLAG, has provided support, education, and advocacy to hundreds of thousands of families, and millions of people over the last five decades. The Mother of a Movement: Jeanne Manford—Ally, Activist, and Co-Founder of PFLAG is a beautiful depiction of Jeanne's legacy, and a testament to the power of a parent's love for their child.

    —Brian K. Bond, Executive Director, PFLAG National


    Rousing prose…a robust list of sources…a timeless feel…Stylish, chic, and strong. Brava!

    —Kirkus, Starred Review

    Do you want to build teams that respect the individuality and identity of all members? Inclusive team-based leadership can help you develop and lead teams that communicate and collaborate respectfully and effectively and get work done!

    Inclusive team-based leadership is a leadership approach that recognizes and empowers all members of a team. It respects self-identities and diversity and promotes consensus-building, positive communication, and cultural humility. It sees diversity and differences as a source of energy and vitality. By honoring differences, you can help everyone in a team to contribute fully and effectively.

    Aidy Weeks will draw on her experience as a library director and leader to help you develop an understanding of this new leadership approach and acquire skills you can use to build a team or rebuild a dysfunctional team. She’ll use a case study that demonstrates how teams can build a community agreement and show participants how to implement this with their teams.

    You’ll leave the session with an understanding of inclusive team-based leadership and its power, an awareness of the specific practices needed to lead an inclusive team, and being able to develop and implement the community agreement based on shared values that is the heart of building or rebuilding a healthy team.

    Learning Outcomes

    By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

    Explain inclusive team-based leadership

    Select and implement inclusive team-based leadership approaches

    Explain community agreements

    Implement a community agreement within teams

    Audience:

    Library managers, directors, and supervisors, and other information professionals interested in moving into a leadership position or in leading from their current position.

    Presenter:

    Aidy Weeks, AHIP is the Director of the UNLV School of Medicine Library. She co-presented, “Developing an Employee Code of Conduct for an Academic Medical Library” at the 2022 Medical Library Association Conference and is the 2021 Erich Meyerhoff Prize winner for “Proving the Proverbial Gadfly: Situating the Southern Medical Works of Mary Louise Marshall.” She is also the Project Lead for the Hispanic/Latinx Inclusive Terminologies Project, which advocates for changes in medical subject headings affecting Hispanic/Latinx diaspora populations, and an active member of MLA and the MLA Latinx Caucus.

    Join LILRC as we welcome Claire Bellerjeau, co-author of Remember Liss: The Remarkable True Story of One Woman's Enslavement and Freedom in New York

    Remember Liss: The Remarkable True Story of One Woman's Enslavement and Freedom in New York, by Claire Bellerjeau and Tiffany Yecke Brooks sheds light on the experiences of people of color in New York from the colonial period into the early republic. By the time Elizabeth, known as “Liss,” was born into the household of the moderately wealthy Townsend family in the early 1760s, slavery had already been established in New York for over a century—and would persist under legal protection for almost seventy more. Remember Liss follows her long and complex journey towards freedom and examines the laws and customs that kept the institution in place for so long as well as the path to eventually abolishing slavery in the state. Her life reveals the often-overlooked history of slavery in New York and her involvement with Robert Townsend, a spy for George Washington, engages readers with fascinating stories of espionage during the American Revolution. 

    Set primarily against the backdrop of the American Revolution and Liss’s connection with Robert Townsend, Remember Liss allows readers from 4th grade and up a chance to explore the world of New York—and New York’s place in the world—during the 17th, 18th , and early 19th centuries. Prominent figures cross her path such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Jupiter Hammon, Benedict Arnold, John André and John Adams; and stories from America’s founding are re-examined, including the Culper Spy Ring, the Boston Massacre, the Sons of Liberty, the Battle of Long Island, and the Benedict Arnold treason plot. This text also points readers to primary documents and lesson plans through a collaboration with New York Archives’ online platform “Consider the Source.” Remember Liss offers a new perspective to America’s founding, from the point of view of an enslaved Black woman seeking personal liberty in a country fighting for its own.

    PRESENTER: 

    Claire Bellerjeau discovered Liss’s story through seventeen years of original research. In 2021 she co-authored “Espionage and Enslavement in the Revolution: The True Story of Robert Townsend and Elizabeth”(Lyons Press). In 2022 Bellerjeau co-founded Remember Liss, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to sharing Liss’s story with the community. She formerly served as Historian and Director of Education at Liss’s birthplace, Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay, New York. She has been researching the Townsend family and those they enslaved for almost two decades, including curating a yearlong exhibit on the Townsend “Slave Bible” in 2005. In 2015, during a research visit to the New York Historical Society, she discovered what may be one of the earliest poems ever written by Jupiter Hammon, America’s first published African American writer. She has developed educational programs on the subjects of slavery in New York and the American Revolution on Long Island and shares Liss’s story with schools and the community.

    This webinar presentation introduces participants to User Experience (UX) design, a mix of user-centred design, usability, and user friendliness. UX design can be applied to any organization, service, and product where people interact with. UX design represents the mix of desirability, usability, utility, and brand experience. When applied to libraries, UX design relates to the feelings and perceptions our users have when they engage with the physical and virtual touchpoints of the library. This presentation will discuss UX basics, as it relates to web site design, library space design, signage and wayfinding, and elements of excellent public service. Lastly, the presenter will discuss various UX research techniques that you can use to study your library users.

    Join LILRC when we welcome author Elizabeth Castellano to discuss her debut novel, Save What's Left (Anchor, 2023), which takes place in a beach town on Long Island!

    An outrageously funny debut novel about a woman who moves to a small beach town looking for peace, only to find herself in an all-out war with her neighbors.

    When Kathleen Deane’s husband, Tom, tells her he's no longer happy with his life and their marriage, Kathleen is confused. They live in Kansas. They’ve been married thirty years. Who said anything about being happy? But with Tom off finding himself, Kathleen starts to think about what she wants. And her thoughts lead her to a small beach community on the east coast, a town called Whitbey that has always looked lovely in the Christmas letters her childhood friend Josie sends every year.

    It turns out, though, that life in Whitbey is nothing like Josie’s letters. Kathleen’s new neighbor, Rosemary, is cantankerous, and the town’s supervisor won't return Kathleen’s emails, but worst of all is the Sugar Cube, the monstrosity masquerading as a holiday home that Kathleen’s absentee neighbors are building next door to her quaint (read: tiny) cottage. As Kathleen gets more and more involved in the fight against the Sugar Cube and town politics overall, she realizes that Whitbey may not be a fairytale, but it just might be exactly what she needed.

    Save What’s Left can best be described as the “un-beach read.” It pulls back the curtain on life in a beach town, revealing the true cost of a pretty view. Told from the candid and irreverent perspective of a newcomer turned local, this is a story of forgiveness, fortitude, and second chances.

    Praise for Save What's Left

    “I loved every page of Save What’s Left—this voice, this eye, this story, its originality and wit, its offbeat social satire, its loopy cynicism, and a whole town’s good intentions gone awry. Fighting city hall has never been so delicious. Brava, Elizabeth Castellano. I can’t wait for your next book.”

    —Elinor Lipman, author of Rachel to the Rescue

    Save What’s Left is an absolute delight. It’s laugh out loud funny and full of heart. I loved it.”

    —J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of Friends and Strangers

    “Laugh-out-loud funny, Save What’s Left is a novel about life in a town that makes the perfect escape.”

    —Today.com

    About the Author

    Elizabeth Castellano grew up in a beach town. She lives in New York. Save What's Left is her debut novel.

    Join LILRC as we welcome author Ruchira Gupta for a moderated conversation about her Young Adult novel, I Kick and I Fly (Scholastic, 2023), a story of the human trafficking of young girls. 

    In I Kick and I Fly, Ruchira Gupta has given young readers an irresistible story, and also one that could save lives. This book is a gift." -- Gloria Steinem

    "Any work from Ruchira Gupta is sure to further the cause of liberating women, especially, and in this novel, girls. It takes a strong belief in us, and especially in our young ones, to persevere as she does in both art and politics. The absolute belief that if the heart is moved, so might be the positive activities for justice and freedom of the mind." -- Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple

    "I Kick and I Fly is a powerhouse of a debut. Ruchira Gupta has crafted a page-turner of a read, stepped in place and full of indelible characters, managing to be at once propulsive and enlightening, infuriating and inspiring. But maybe most important, Heera’s story is a beacon of hope to a generation of young people trying to transform an unjust world." -- Gayle Forman, New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay and We Are Inevitable

    Ruchira Gupta is an Emmy winning journalist and founder of the anti sex trafficking NGO, Apne Aap that helps women and girls exit systems of prostitution. I Kick and I Fly is her debut fiction novel. 

    Ruchira has been given the French Ordre National du Mérite, Clinton Global Citizen Award, and the UN NGO CSW Woman of Distinction among other honors for her contribution to the establishment of the UN Trafficking Fund for Survivors, the passage of the US Trafficking Victims Protection Act and her grassroots activism with Apne Aap. She holds a Doctor of Humane Letters from Smith College. Ruchira has worked for the United Nations in Nepal, Thailand, Kosovo, Iran, and USA. She teaches occasionally as a visiting professor at New York University.  She divides her time between New York and Forbesganj, her childhood home in the foothills of the Himalayas, where she paints her mother’s garden.

    Libraries are like airports with continual arrivals and departures of key staff. In order to have takeoffs and landings go smoothly, directors and trustees need to prepare for the departure of a director in times of crisis and otherwise by creating a succession plan. After covering what the current director and board must put in place prior to the landing of a new director, learn how to prepare for the arrival of a new director and the role of trustees in successfully onboarding a new director and gain strategies for how to transition the new director. Attendees will receive a flight plan and onboarding checklist for new library directors and a sample succession plan for a little light reading during your flight.

    Written by a monk-turned-leadership-guru, Mindfulness For the Wandering Mind offers unique insight on how you can focus your mind, become more resilient, respond better to conflict, and build stronger professional (and personal) relationships. It’s all possible when you begin to understand how your mind works and take control of this complicated mechanism. This book will show you how to identify and close the “apps” that are constantly running in your own mind, so you can eliminate distractions and find greater peace and productivity in your daily life.

    In this book, you’ll find specific meditation processes and actions you can take to help you succeed as you begin or continue your journey. Through presentations and talks across the country, Author Pandit Dasa has offered his wisdom on applying mindfulness in the workplace. In this book, he shares his wisdom with you, revealing that, no matter what your external circumstances or environment, you can find the time and space to reflect and unlock the benefits of mindfulness.

    • Reduce stress and anxiety by eliminating unnecessary distractions and closing unused “apps” in your mind
    • Harness the principles of forgiveness, patience, compassion, and selflessness to improve work-life balance and mental health for yourself and your employees
    • Break through the stigma surrounding mental health concerns and identify the obstacles that are keeping you from happiness and fulfilment
    • Complete reflection questions and exercises to develop a deeper awareness of how your mind works―and what you can do to improve it

    Mindfulness For the Wandering Mind is for anyone who is looking for a solution to the constant feelings overwhelm, distraction, and anxiety that plague us in today’s fast-paced, media-saturated world. Teach your brain how to block out the noise and find focus, and observe the radical transformation that mindfulness can make in your life.

     Using the digital resources of JewishGen, the historical resources of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the production resources of JLTV, a new television series, Generations will unravel centuries-old family histories. This program will explore the resources available for research at MJH and JewishGen and the stories being told with them.

    Generations will be anchored by Brad Pomerance, host of award-winning television programs such as Air Land & Sea on JLTV, Uncovered in the Archives on KVCR in Southern California, and formerly Local Edition on HLN.

    “We look forward to partnering with JewishGen and JLTV, two pillars in the Jewish community, to bring this show to life. We hope this new series will provide moments of discovery to those we feature, and to broader audiences, where they will learn more about their ancestry and how to access the resources available. To better know who we are, we need to know where we came from. These personal stories will also provide opportunities to learn about many important moments and movements in Jewish history.” Jack Kliger, President and CEO of The Museum of Jewish Heritage. 

    “Helping people retrace their family history and strengthening their sense of Jewish identity aligns perfectly with JewishGen’s mission of being the global home for Jewish genealogy. This partnership is an ideal path to learn, to discover, and to grow, all while demonstrating how people can utilize our unique collection of records, and unparalleled historical and community focused resources on their own. It will demonstrate that Jewish Genealogy is accessible for anyone with a desire to gain a deeper understanding of their Jewish roots, no matter their level of familiarity or expertise.” Avraham Groll, Executive Director of JewishGen.

    Join LILRC as we welcome Jean Wright to discuss her career as a NASA Aerospace Composite Tech, also known as a NASA seamstress. 

    Jean worked with the United Space Alliance at the Thermal Protection System Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. One of 18 seamstresses in this critical role, Jean and her co-workers dubbed their group “The Sew Sisters,” using machines and hand stitching to build, create and repair thermal protection flight hardware and parachutes. Wright would go on to work on the Endeavor, Atlantis and Discovery space shuttle missions. She also worked on test parachutes and aft-skirt blankets for the Orion spacecraft.

    Now retired, Jean remains involved with NASA as a Docent for the Shuttle Atlantis exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center. She is a member of NASA’s Speakers Bureau, representing the organization at civic, professional, educational and public events. She has been a keynote speaker at the MQX Quilt Festival in 2018, Women’s History Month at KSCVC in 2018, Family Day at the Udvar-Hazy National Air & Space Museum in 2016, the International Quilt Festival with Astronaut Karen Nyberg and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. One of her life’s biggest thrills was being asked by Mark Armstrong to cut and prepare for auction, pieces of historic muslin fabric from the Wright Brothers 1903 Flyer that his father, Neil Armstrong, carried to the moon aboard the Apollo 11 Lunar Module.

    A hardcover picture book about Jean's life is being published this fall. Entitled Sew Sister:The Untold Story of Jean Wright and NASA's Seamstresses (Tilbury House Publishers October 3, 2023), it is written by Elise Matich and is the first in a series of picture book biographies by the author that explore the lives of figures who have been overlooked or overshadowed in their fields.

    This program is being presented in cooperation with NASA's Solar System Ambassador program. For more information on the program, visit Events | Solar System Ambassadors – NASA Solar System Exploration.

    Web 1.0 gave us the Internet. Web 2.0 gave us mobile and social connectivity. The next phase (Web 3.0) is giving us the Metaverse, a 3D digital copy of our physical world where we can connect and interact with others inside virtual spaces while removing time and place constraints. The Metaverse was coined by the writer Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel “Snow Crash” and the concept is becoming more real and not considered science fiction anymore. In this webinar:

    • Understand what the Metaverse is and find out why we should care about it,
    • Learn how extended reality (XR) technologies work and are helping create the Metaverse,
    • Discover how the Metaverse can change things ranging from online gaming and fashion to education and finance,
    • Highlight X3D and other standards that will play a role in building and traversing the Metaverse, and
    • Experience the potential of virtual/augmented reality meeting platforms that enables people to collaborate in a 3D virtual environment from anywhere on earth.

    Presented by Chad Mairn. He is a librarian, teacher, author, and self-described geek who frequently shares his enthusiasm for 'all-things technology' as a speaker at library and technology conferences. He is an Information Services Librarian, Assistant Professor, and manages the Innovation Lab at St. Petersburg College.

    32nd Annual Conference on Libraries and the Future


    AI in Libraries

    ~~~~~

    The Heritage Club - at - Bethpage 

    Registration & Breakfast 8:00am 



    Artificial intelligence is an extremely hot topic not just for libraries but across the world. There are questions of how it affects jobs and operations in libraries and beyond. There are also serious questions about the ethics of AI especially as it relates to intellectual property and use by students. This year's speakers will address these issues including how libraries can leverage AI in their organization, how AI impacts leadership decisions in shaping perceptions, and the ethics of its use.


    MEET OUR SPEAKERS: 


    Since the 1996 launch of his “IS Survival Guide” column  in InfoWorld, Bob Lewis has been an iconoclast in the echo chamber of same-old same old commentary about business and IT strategy, tactics, operations, and leadership. His unique blend of vision, pragmatism and sardonic humor have made him one of the most trusted and independent voices in the field.
    The award-winning author of twelve books, most recently “There’s no such thing as an IT project,” plus more than 1,700 columns, Mr. Lewis held a wide variety of executive, management and staff positions before becoming a consultant – he did the work before advising about the work.

    Mr. Lewis posts a weekly column – Keep the Joint Running (he refuses to call it a blog) –at www.issurvivor.com, along with the “CIO Survival Guide” on CIO.com.


     Nicole Coleman is Digital Research Architect for the Stanford University Libraries and Research Director for Humanities+Design, a research lab at the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis. Nicole works at the intersection of the digital library and digital scholarship as a lead architect in the design and development of practical research services. She is currently leading an initiative within the Library to identify and enact applications of artificial intelligence —machine perception, machine learning, machine reasoning, and language recognition— to make the collections of maps, photographs, manuscripts, data sets and other assets more easily discoverable, accessible, and analyzable.

    At Humanities + Design she has led the design and development of numerous tools for data visualization and analysis including Palladio, Breve, and, most recently, Data Pen. The lab encourages and supports collaboration between researchers from the humanities and design to encode interpretive method in tools for data analysis. Lessons learned in that work have proven essential to designing human-centered applications of machine intelligence in support of research.


    Nick Tanzi is the Assistant Director of the South Huntington Public Library. He is a nationally recognized library technology consultant and the author of the books Making the Most of Digital Collections Through Training and Outreach (2016) and the coauthor of the Best Technologies for Public Libraries: Policies, Programs, and Services (2020). Nick is a past column editor for Public Library Magazine’s “The Wired Library," and his work on the intersection of libraries and technology has been featured in publications including VOYA Magazine, Computers in Libraries, Library Journal, and Marketing Library Services.

    Join LILRC as we welcome authors Shaunna Edwards and Alyson Richman to discuss their compelling novel, The Thread Collectors  (Graydon House, Harper Collins 2022).

    1863: In a small Creole cottage in New Orleans, an ingenious young Black woman named Stella embroiders intricate maps on repurposed cloth to help enslaved men flee and join the Union Army. Bound to a man who would kill her if he knew of her clandestine activities, Stella has to hide not only her efforts but her love for William, a Black soldier and a brilliant musician.

    Meanwhile, in New York City, a Jewish woman stitches a quilt for her husband, who is stationed in Louisiana with the Union Army. Between abolitionist meetings, Lily rolls bandages and crafts quilts with her sewing circle for other soldiers, too, hoping for their safe return home. But when months go by without word from her husband, Lily resolves to make the perilous journey South to search for him.

    As these two women risk everything for love and freedom during the brutal Civil War, their paths converge in New Orleans, where an unexpected encounter leads them to discover that even the most delicate threads have the capacity to save us. Loosely inspired by the authors' family histories, this stunning novel will stay with readers for a long time.

    Shaunna J. Edwards has a BA in literature from Harvard College and a JD from NYU School of Law. A former corporate lawyer, she now works in diversity, equity and inclusion. She is a native Louisianian, raised in New Orleans, and currently lives in Harlem with her husband. The Thread Collectors is her first novel. Find her on Instagram, @shaunnajedwards.

    Alyson Richman is the USA Today bestselling and #1 international bestselling author of several historical novels including The Velvet Hours, The Garden of Letters, and The Lost Wife, which is currently in development for a major motion picture. Alyson graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in art history and Japanese studies.  She herself is an accomplished painter and her novels combine her deep love of art, historical research, and travel.  Alyson's novels have been published in twenty-five languages and have reached the bestseller lists both in the United States and abroad. She lives on Long Island with her husband and two children, where she is currently at work on her next novel. 

    Praise for The Thread Collectors 

    “An unforgettable story of female strength, hope and friendship. This collaborative work is magnificent—a true revelation!”

    - Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman with the Blue Star

    “A brilliant story brimming with unexpected friendships and family ties. Historically sound and beautifully stitched, The Thread Collectors will stay with you long after the last page is turned.”

    - Sadeqa Johnson, international bestselling author of Yellow Wife  

    The Thread Collectors is a gift—not only for lovers of historical fiction, but for readers everywhere who search for hidden truths behind the facts we think we know. Like the fearless, sensitive, and resourceful women they write about, Edwards and Richman have stitched together a glorious tapestry of resilience, survival, friendship, and love. This is a Civil War story unlike any other—a story readers will treasure from the very first page.”

    - Lynda Cohen Loigman, USA Today bestselling author of The Two-Family House and The Wartime Sisters

    A director’s manual is the most important resource and merits the time needed to assemble the document with great care. The purpose of the director’s manual is to ensure that all essential information concerning the day-to-day operation of the library can be located in one document. The goal is to compile in an orderly fashion all essential information such as library rules, policies and practices can be located and applied and in the case of an emergency the instructions on handling the matter are at the director’s fingertips. The program will cover the contents and structure of a well-crafted director’s manual.

    When we think of branding, we often think of the visual elements of a particular product, company, service, or organization. A brand is often associated with a company logo, trademark, symbols, and a specific set of colors that are associated with that company or organization. In this 90 minute webinar, the presenter will provide a more holistic definition of branding that extends beyond the visuals. The presentation will focus on library branding and the presenter will describe how branding is related to the “essence” or “spirit” of the organization. The library’s “brand” represents the feelings and experiences associated using all the different touch-points of the library. Lastly, the presenter will touch upon the concept of personal branding, as it applies to library workers.

    Learning Outcomes

    At the end of this 90 minute webinar presentation, the learner will be able to:

    1. Define brand and branding, as they relate to libraries and other non-profit organisation.
    2. Explain the concepts of brand loyalty, brand strength, and co-branding
    3. Identify the key elements of a library brand 
    4. Conduct an internal and external brand audit
    5. Develop branding elements to libraries and librarians (ie. personal branding)
