SAN FRANCISCO—How can libraries ensure that learners of all ages stay curious, develop their passions, immerse themselves in learning? Learn about developing library learning spaces at this year’s 2015 91��ý (91��ý) Annual Conference in San Francisco. The interactive session, “Hacking the Culture of Learning in the Library,” takes place from 1:00–2:00p.m. on Sunday, June 28, 2015. The session will be held at the Moscone Convention Center in room 2018 of the West building.

Leaders will discuss ways that libraries serve as informal learning spaces that encourage exploration and discovery, while librarians lead in creating new opportunities to engage learners and make learning happen. During the session, library leaders will explore ways that libraries are creating incubation spaces to hack education and create new paradigms where learners own their education.
