Smarter, Not Harder: Upgrade Your Library Workflows with the Power of AI!   (Changed from the original workshop: AI & Libraries: Usage, Policies, and Concerns) When: March 23, 2026 10:00, EDT Where: Hartland Public Library   153 US Route 5, Hartland VT  or on Zoom  https://vermontlibraries.wildapricot.org/event-6552941 $10 VLA Members                 $15 Non-Members Librarians wear a lot of hats â and AI might just be the one that ties them all together. This practical, two-hour session is designed for library professionals who want to cut through the AI hype and get straight to work with whatâs actually useful. Youâll see AI tools demonstrated in real library scenarios â drafting PR assets for your next program, fielding a tricky reference or tech support question, developing policies or writing monthly reports, analyzing datasets, creating slideshows, and so much more. No jargon. No coding. No tech background required.  Weâll explore low-barrier, budget-friendly AI tools that fit the pace and values of library work â and weâll be honest about their limits. Conversations about privacy, bias, accessibility, and patron trust are built right into the session, because responsible AI use isnât an afterthought in libraries. Itâs the whole point. Mark Glisson is the Assistant Director of the Hooksett Library in Hooksett, NH, bringing nearly 24 years of experience in public librarianship. He specializes in technology support, digital literacy, and staff training, helping both patrons and colleagues navigate an everâchanging tech landscape. Mark also serves as CoâChair of the NHLAâITS Section, where he contributes to statewide conversations on innovation and infrastructure. His professional passion lies in staying ahead of emerging technologies and fostering positive, accessible user experiencesâespecially in areas such as cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. You can attend in person, or register to attend through zoom.  Best regards, From the VLA AI ad hoc committee,  Mary Danko Susanna Kahn Amy Olsen Marie Schmukal
