The 2026 California Conference on Library Instruction will take place on Friday, May 29, at California State University’s Monterey Bay campus. The theme is “Library Instruction in Changing Times”.
Instruction librarians are teaching and leading in a time of seismic shift. Lightning-fast technological innovation, divisive politics, and threats to equity and inclusion are all converging in a time of tightening budgets. These factors impact our students and our instructional roles.
CCLI invites instruction librarians to reimagine how we teach, learn, and lead at the intersection of these forces. Imagine library instruction that not only keeps pace with changing times but actively shapes a more inclusive, informed, and hopeful future. Share how you are reimagining library instruction and your innovative teaching methods with colleagues to transform uncertainty into opportunity for the students we serve.
The deadline for proposal submissions is now Wednesday, November 5. More information on the proposal process is available here.
