Charles Anthony Silvestri is an award-winning poet, writer, educator, and speaker. He is the author of three books, and his poetry has been set to choral music by more than 100 composers worldwide.

Together, we will explore curiosity, mentorship, imagination, history, and the long arc of influence that libraries shape every day. The morning will include a conversation with Tony, participant reflections (Spark Talks), and time to connect with colleagues—followed by lunch.
