Our theme for 2024 is MLA: The Heart of the Community and we are seeking proposals for presentations focused around the being the heart of the community and community building in addition to other topics meaningful to the library community.

Have you introduced a new program or service that you are proud of and think others might benefit from your experience? Let's hear about it!

Or, perhaps you're interested in learning more about a certain topic. You can bet others might be, too - so why not consider assembling a panel of specialists to present on it (limit 3)?
