 for people new to RIPL as well as RIPL alumni. Longer breakout sessions will enable participants to explore topics in more depth. What’s not changing? Hands-on, experiential learning; an immersive, camp-like experience (with better accommodations!); and the
 opportunity to connect with instructors and library staff from around the US and beyond who are passionate about creating data-powered libraries. You can find more information about the event at
