In an era where Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we access, consume, and interact with information, the role of libraries is evolving like never before. While technology continues to reshape learning ecosystems, libraries remain at the heart of knowledge creation, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.

To commemorate National Reading Day 2026, the Learning and Information Resource Centre (LIRC) of St. Francis Institute of Technology (SFIT) is organizing a thought-provoking webinar titled:

Prompting the Mind: Reading in the Age of AI

Enhancing Library Visibility in the Digital Era

The webinar aims to bring together library professionals and information practitioners to discuss how AI is influencing reading habits, information discovery, digital engagement, and the future of library services.
