This year’s annual WLA conference will kick off Wednesday, November 2 at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa with keynote speaker Jason Reynolds!
Reynolds is a
#1 New York Times bestselling author whose award-winning book Look Both Ways: A
Tale Told in Ten Blocks was a National Book Award Finalist, Carnegie Medal
winner, and named one of the best books of 2019 by NPR, School Library Journal,
and many more. He's currently serving as the National Ambassador for Young
People's Literature. For more information on this Speaker, please visit www.simonspeakers.com.
The theme for this year’s
conference is “Rising to the Challenge'' and we would like you to share your
stories of how you’ve overcome obstacles, collaborated with your communities
and how you’ve not just survived but thrived despite the challenges of the past
few years and how you’re preparing for future challenges. We’d also like to
continue the important conversations around diversity and inclusivity,
staffing, fundraising, advocacy and cultivating connections. We’d like you to
consider the big picture but also encourage you to share your practical and
effective strategies and inspiring projects from your corner of the library
world.
Proposals for presentations, panels, and workshops are welcome. Sessions will
run 45 minutes in length (with a limited number of 90 minutes sessions
available) and with a maximum of four presenters.
Help shape this year’s conference
by submitting your proposal via this
link by Monday, April 25, 2022.
