<sup>nd </sup>for our annual Critical Conversations Conference.  Each year we try to design the day around a topic we feel is timely and will be helpful in better preparing you to provide excellence to your communities.  This year our title is “Building Empathy
 to Build Community” and there is something for everyone.  I guarantee the day will impact you and increase your understanding of why empathy is so important in building community.  Empathy is a foundational concept in diversity, equity and inclusion awareness
 and can lead to more effective community connections.  As such, it is critical to all aspects of service from collection development to programming to marketing to customer service.  We will start the day with Holly Bognar, introducing us to the main concepts
 of emotional intelligence – self-awareness, self-management, social awareness (empathy) and relationship awareness.  Tamara King, Community Relations Director, Richland Library, Columbia, SC and a 2019
<em><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Library Journal </span></em>Mover & Shaker, will follow and will highlight Richland’s “My Life Experience” mobile empathy lab, the first of its kind in U.S. public libraries.  Breakout sessions will feature
 Carol Jackson, Branch Manager/Adult Programming Coordinator, Ramsey County Library (MN) and a 2019
<em><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Library Journal </span></em>Mover & Shaker, talking about their collaborative community series, “Ask,” a bi-monthly discussion giving voice to the community’s underrepresented residents.  Helena Richardson
 from Ashtabula County District Library will walk us through their successful Human Library events.  Carrie Girton from Miami University will talk about empathetic marketing to reach students and ease library anxiety and Toby Greenwalt from Carnegie Library
 of Pittsburgh will speak about digital empathy.  Tamara King will also conduct a breakout around her library’s experiences in developing the series, “Courageous Conversations,” and their use of VR technology in empathy exercises.  An additional breakout session
 will focus on utilizing the Great Stories Club, “Empathy: The Cost of Switching Sides,” information to talk about empathy with youth.  The day will end with an interactive wrap-up exercise led by Tamara King.  Mark your calendars for April 2
