We have grown up in a world of steady economic growth, predictable demographic cycles, and a stable international system. But this world – the only one we’ve ever known – is about to be forever altered, and the old rule books are out the window! From increasing workforce shortages to global pandemics, and from rampant inflation to the collapse of our supply chains, Brock Dickinson takes a look at the sometimes frightening world of tomorrow, and what this means for our businesses and our communities. How we can position ourselves for success in this frightening new reality? This session will surprise, alarm and enlighten – but as always, Brock also promises a few laughs along the way!

Family Literacy Day (FLD) takes place every January 27 to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development, improves a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.

Celebrate 25 years of FLD and learning together as a family by having a party (or come to one at the library)! Make food, sing songs, and play games. The possibilities for learning are endless – and it’s fun when you do it together.
