Call for WLA Program Proposals - Due March 1, 2019

Libraries promote growth, education, diversity, and community and campus engagement; continuously striving to better their communities and all those they serve. The 2019 WLA Annual Conference is an opportunity for us to share our expertise, knowledge and ideas to enrich our libraries, communities and ourselves.

The 2019 WLA Conference Committee invites you to share your experience and creativity with the Wisconsin library community at our annual conference, to be held on October 8-11, 2019, at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in the Wisconsin Dells. We are seeking an array of programs that will appeal to a wide library audience.

We already have a great lineup of speakers, but we seek your help to provide a relevant, timely and intentional learning experience at this year’s conference. You can help by offering your knowledge and expertise for a conference session.

Our Wisconsin library community includes staff from academic, public, school and special libraries, as well as trustees, students and other library professionals.
Consider sessions related to topics such as:
  • Advocacy/Promotion
  • Building Collections
  • Building Inclusivity
  • Civil Discourse/Community Conversations
  • Creating Inclusive and Welcoming Environments
  • Fostering Community Relationships, Community Collaborations and Partnerships
  • Leadership/Professional Development
  • Library Issues and Challenges
  • Mental Health Issues
  • Practical Programming
  • Security/Safety
  • Self-Care/Time Management
  • Serving Diverse Populations
  • Work-Life Balance
  • Workplace Creativity

Don't let the above topics limit you! Feel free to suggest any program you'd like to present, as long as it adheres to the Program Proposal Guidelines.

Submit your proposal here.

PROGRAM SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS MARCH 1, 2019.

Please feel free to contact us with questions.

Thanks,
WLA 2019 Conference Program Co-Chairs
