<p class="MsoNormal">This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better. Each of our speakers will be from a small library or directly works with small libraries. Topics will range from technology (new tech
 and old tech) to programming to new roles for the library. Come for the programs on what you’re dealing with now, or maybe try something new. Everyone is welcome to register and attend, regardless of how big or small their library is, but if your library serves
 a few thousand people, or a few hundred, this is the day for you. <br>
