This talk explores the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and school libraries, inspiring school librarians to embrace AI in their educational settings. I will share insights into my ongoing research and training efforts, emphasizing the potential transformative impact of AI on school libraries. This presentation will delve into how AI can be leveraged to initiate meaningful conversations (podcasting and conferences) thereby increasing the profile of school libraries within the broader education landscape. Lastly, I will offer a personal perspective on integrating AI within my own business, illustrating practical applications and highlighting the potential for innovation within the realm of school libraries.
