<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"">Program proposals are now being accepted for the 2015 Washington Library Association Conference, April 15-17 at the gorgeous Tulalip Resort. This year's theme is Come
to the Table -- Libraries are Market Fresh! and we'll be highlighting all of the delicious programs, exploration and innovation happening inside AND outside of libraries. Now's the time to reach out to the dynamic presenters in your communities, or share
your own skills and experience by leading a Conference Session or a Preconference Workshop.
