SUMMARY:AI in Libraries
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence isn’t just a tech trend — it’s becoming a powerful partner in how libraries connect people\, ideas\, and information. From smarter search results and on-the-fly translations to creative tools that spark learning and storytelling\, AI is opening exciting new possibilities for library services. \n\n\n\nAs 2026 approaches\, the pace of change is picking up. Generative AI\, retrieval-augmented search\, and locally hosted models are giving libraries fresh ways to enhance discovery\, improve efficiency\, and support patrons in entirely new ways — but they also bring big questions about privacy\, ethics\, and readiness. \n\n\n\nIn this lively\, skills-focused session\, we’ll look at what’s next for AI in libraries and how to get ready for it. You’ll leave with a toolkit of emerging tools worth exploring\, and a clear picture of the trends shaping how libraries will lead — not just adapt — in the years ahead. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter: Kira Smith has been a dedicated Virtual Reference Specialist with Florida’s Ask A Librarian service for over 15 years. A recipient of multiple Exemplary Reference Awards\, Kira is passionate about guiding people to the information they need. In addition to her work in virtual reference\, she freelances as a research consultant for journalists\, providing expert insights and fact-finding services. Kira also regularly hosts webinars\, sharing her knowledge and experience in the fields of online reference and information literacy. \n\n\n\nHer diverse background includes experience as an elementary school teacher and a certified childbirth educator\, adding depth to her understanding of teaching and communication. With a love for technology\, education\, and travel\, Kira continually seeks innovative ways to enhance learning experiences and connect with people around the world.
