The ILA Annual Conference Program Committee is seeking programs addressing the following topics:
– Offering strategies to provide communities with methods to discover and explore twenty-first century library services.
– Encouraging library staff to become active advocates for themselves, their libraries, and their communities.
– Highlighting opportunities for library staff of all types to serve as leaders and mentors within their profession.
*Proposals are due Friday, April 1, 2016.* The conference will be October 18-20, 2016, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.
