“We’re asking prospective presenters, ‘Are you (or is someone you know) exploring a unique perspective which promotes new insight? Is there an extraordinary project you are pursuing right here in our region?’” a news release said. “The TEDx Sno-Isle Libraries 2020 event could be their opportunity to share their ideas with the region and the world.”
The library is accepting applications for speakers through Dec. 29. Forms can be found at www.sno-isle.org/tedx.
