What is G.O.A.T.
It’s a full-day, in-person gathering for librarians who focus on teens—a chance to connect with others who know that working with teens is the best gig in the library.
We’ve hosted G.O.A.T. since 2018 to give teen librarians a dedicated space & time to focus on the work they do. Too often, youth services meetings center on younger children, but working with teens brings unique challenges and opportunities. At this years G.O.A.T., you’ll discover fresh & inclusive programming ideas, explore how technology and social media shape young people, and rediscover the joy in your work.
Did we mention it's FREE!
