A new law has recently passed in Connecticut to clarify the roles and
responsibilities of school libraries when it comes to providing access to
library materials. Join us for an informative session designed specifically
for school librarians. This event will break down what the legislation
says, what changes (if any) it requires in your library practices, and how
to ensure your policies are aligned with the new law.

In this session, you will:

   - Learn the key provisions of PA 25-168, Sec. 321
