A few years back, IFLS did a big project trying to get ourselves up to speed on new media, and how to help parents navigate the overwhelming avalanche of information and products. One of the things we did was hold a workshop on the topic with a morning presentation by Erin Walsh. Erin was AMAZING. Thoughtful, interesting, warm, funny, and incredibly engaging.

Erin will help librarians understand the key ingredients for thriving in the digital age and provide practical tools and strategies that help youth build on their strengths.
