Do you:

  *   have a successful approach to advocacy?
  *   have great examples of building community partnerships?
  *   provide an outstanding tech service?
  *   have creative management techniques to share?
  *   work in a library where staff goes above and beyond with a particular service or program?
  *   offer other unique services that are replicable and affordable for small and rural libraries
Share your expertise in these or other areas by submitting a proposal (link below).
Important items to note:

Bring us your best!  We will be accepting a maximum of TWO proposals per presenter (including individual and panel presentations).
PRESENTER DISCOUNTS:

·        ARSL will provide a $100 conference registration discount for session presenter*

·        A $150 conference registration discount is provided for presenters who are asked to repeat a proposed  session*

*For sessions with multiple presenters, the discount applies only to the lead speaker (person who submits the proposal) and is NOT transferable.

PLEASE NOTE: conference vendors who present sessions are not eligible for the presenter discount and no additional travel funding will be available for presenters for this conference (scholarships are a separate award).

SELECTION TIMELINE:
We ask for your patience. We hope to notify all selected presenters by Friday, March 20, 2019.

If the notification date changes, we will make an announcement. Emails regarding status of selection will not be answered prior to this date.

"The library card is a passport to wonders and miracles, glimpses into other lives, religions, experiences, the hopes and dreams and strivings of ALL human beings, and it is this passport that opens our eyes and hearts to the world beyond our front doors, that is one of our best hopes against tyranny, xenophobia, hopelessness, despair, anarchy, and ignorance.” ~ Libba Bray
