Introverts AND Extroverts: We got you covered!

Regardless of how and where we work in Ontario’s libraries, we’re all powerful.

Being powerful can mean different things for different people, which is why we’ve curated a variety of social experiences for both introverts and extroverts at the Super Conference.
