## This Town Hall is designed for:

### Librarians and library staff serving Latino and Spanish-speaking communities in the U.S.

### Professionals working in public, academic, or community libraries

### Teams involved in reference, outreach, instruction, adult literacy, or digital inclusion

## This session is especially relevant if you:

### Support patrons in bilingual (Spanish/English) environments

### Are being asked about AI and need ethical, practical guidance

### Want to protect public trust, privacy, and library values

## AI is already at the library desk

Move from uncertainty to clarity in your library’s AI decisions.

### The Challenge

Libraries are under pressure to respond to questions about generative AI. Without clear criteria, AI can spread misinformation, reinforce bias, or compromise privacy—especially in Spanish-speaking and immigrant communities.

### Practical Guardrails

This Town Hall focuses on human-centered, responsible AI practices for real library scenarios. It’s not about tools, but about when to use AI, when to avoid it, and how to communicate limits clearly and ethically.

### What You’ll Take Away

- Clear criteria for responsible AI use in library settings
- Practical guardrails for frontline, outreach, and instruction work
- Privacy and verification habits you can apply immediately
- A bilingual (ES/EN) micro-activity ready to use with Latino communities

It’s a shared space to align values and define practical guardrails for your library.
