This document outlines a presentation on participatory librarianship and creating conversations for learning through multiple literacies and platforms. It discusses how libraries can invite participation by sharing ownership of learning, facilitating conversations both in-person and online, and leveraging various technologies. The goal is for libraries to act as sponsors of transliteracy and become the participatory learning network in their community through collaborative knowledge-building.
