Forget the fear of the AI Dragon—it's time to put it to work! Librarians and media specialists are the unsung heroes of literacy, and your time is too precious to waste on dragon-fire administrative tasks. This hands-on session focuses on equipping you with a "Spellbook" of time-saving prompts and practical AI tools like Google Gemini and NotebookLM.

We'll reveal actionable strategies for taming the AI Dragon so it stops being a threat and starts being your personal assistant. Learn how to:

Forge Personalized Book Recommendations: Instantly generate curated reading lists and book-match students to new titles, turning overwhelmed readers into enthusiastic explorers.
Whip Up Promotional Magic: Use AI to write engaging book blurbs, craft social media content, or design quick-start guides for library resources.
Master the 80/20 Rule: Leverage AI to handle the initial 80% of content creation—like drafting lesson plans, developing research summaries from curriculum documents, or writing grant proposals—so you can spend your valuable 20% customizing and building relationships with your students.

Walk away with your own set of powerful Gemini Gems (custom, saved prompts!) and the confidence to use AI as a force for good in your school, transforming the media center into an even more magical hub of reading and research.
