You are invited to a newer type of conference this year than we have done in the past. We understand that our conferences are normally on the same basic content with the same speakers each year. Let’s knock down those walls with a new twist! We will all be meeting together except for the Atriuum and Bible Repair Classes.
This year, our speakers have collaborated with one another to offer you a learning experience that will give you an opportunity to hear each speaker followed by a time to discuss and apply how we might use their ideas in our individual situations. Our goal is to enable each member of your library team to grasp the impact of today’s changing strategies to all types of communities that are unique to your church, school, or public library situation. Let's step up and engage our role in shaping our communities as we learn together.
