From Reluctant to Reader: How Epic Is Changing the Library Story
Description
A librarian's job used to be about getting books into student hands. Now it's about getting the RIGHT book into the RIGHT hands — instantly. Shannon McClintock Miller (librarian, author, literacy advocate) and Cherish Mims (former classroom teacher, now with Epic) sit down for an honest, story-driven session on what happens when access and engagement finally meet. Expect real classroom wins, a live demo, and practical ideas to bring back to your building on day one.
