Esmail’s talk is to be titled “Intellectual Freedom, Privacy Rights, and the Critical Practice of Librarianship'' and aims to bring nuance to questions related to surveillance capitalism, big data, and censorship, while also exploring ways for library workers to promote privacy rights, digital literacy, and intellectual freedom in their critical praxis. Esmail is a noted national speaker on such topics, a frequent contributor to the Intellectual Freedom Blog, and active with the American Library Association Office of Intellectual Freedom.</p><p><br /></p><p>Friday’s lunch keynote is to be Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page. Justice Page will engage in an open conversation with MLA President Steve Harsin about his career, challenges we face in the modern environment, his career writing children’s books, and the Page Foundation. As a Minnesota hero, Justice Page has a unique perspective on a wide range of issues of interest to libraries of all types.</p><p><br /></p><p>Featured speakers are to include Laura Erickson, one of the best known ornithologists in America, who is to participate in a panel to address work done at the College of St. Scholastica on their Catalogue of Birds. Also, State Librarian Tamara Lee and Head of Minitex Maggie Snow will address their accomplishments of the past year, the results of a state-wide survey they conducted, as well as their vision for Minnesota libraries. Representatives from SELCO will address a major region-wide community assessment conducted in the SE region of Minnesota. And Scott Libin, with a 20 year career in journalism as a reporter, anchor and producer, including 8 years at Twin Cities Public Television is to address “What do the Ancient Greeks, Pyramids and Toyota Minivans have to do with good communication?” The session is about what you need to do to develop a speech where your message will be heard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Numerous other sessions will be presented by library staff from around the state. The two-day conference will be hosted at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center. Besides the conference sessions, there will be a silent auction fundraiser for the Minnesota Library Foundation, an event at Glensheen Mansion, an annual business meeting, exhibit hall, award ceremonies and other related activities.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2022 event marks a return to an in-person conference after two years as a virtual conference during the pandemic.

Connecting the Dots is a conversation led by Derrick Jefferson
that explores and examines not just identity, but how multiple
intersectional identities engage on both personal and
professional fronts.<br />
<br />
How do these identities work in conjunction? Do they coexist?
Work in parallel? Create tension? Or do they collide? How do we
deal with these results? And how do they inform how we do our
jobs?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This
presentation will explore issues of justice, equity, diversity,
inclusion, and labor in librarianship by centering ourselves and
our roles in the library. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
