Save the Date: WLA Conference Set for Aug. 10-11 in Sheridan

Mar 15, 2017

Mark your calendars now. The 2017 Wyoming Library Association conference is planned for Aug. 10-11 at Sheridan College. It’s a great opportunity to gather, connect, and learn with your fellow members of the library community from across the state.

Conference agenda will include opening keynote luncheon, author and/or legislative luncheon, multiple breakout sessions, vendor booths, awards reception at the Sheridan Kooi Library, and of course, the Wyoming Library Leadership Institute basket raffle.

School librarians take note: Information Power will be held in conjunction with WLA as a pre-conference on Wednesday, Aug. 9.

To accommodate travel budgets, WLA is offering a new schedule this year. The conference will kick off with lunch on Thursday, Aug. 10 (vendors will open mid-morning), and conclude after lunch on Friday, Aug. 11. Low-cost lodging options in the Villas at Sheridan College and in the residence halls will be available in addition to a room block at the Holiday Inn.

More details will be available soon on the WLA website. The association expects to have registration available in early May.
