Minnesota Library Association Conference

Conference

Join the Minnesota Library Association to celebrate the accomplishments of this year and think about what we are building going forward.

Become part of something greater than yourself and prepare for new challenges and opportunities! We come together for education, rejuvenation, and connection.

Presenting a content-rich session individually or as part of a team is a wonderful way to share new ideas, best practices, re-think partnerships, and show off your successes. We encourage library folk from all levels of experience, library types, and sizes to share by submitting a conference presentation proposal and by attending in October.

More information will become available as the conference approaches.
