Trade Snow Boots for Name Badges. Register Today For The 2026 Long Island Library Conference!

[Publicity LILC]

Dear Colleagues,

If you answered at least five “Are you open?” phone calls today, this email is for you.

With all the plowing, snow blowing, and salting, May might feel far off, but better days are ahead! When the snow boots and shovels are packed away, we hope you’ll join us on Thursday, May 14, at the Melville Marriott for the 2026 Long Island Library Conference. We’re especially excited to welcome keynote speaker Jamar Rahming, who is nationally recognized for innovative, community-centered initiatives and award-winning library service.

Registration will once again be processed through Eventbrite via the conference website. Discounted rates are available for NCLA/SCLA members and for students. Individual membership is required for the member rate. Registration payment via check or invoice must be completed by March 31, 2026. Beginning April 1 through the registration closing date of April 30, 2026, all registrations must be paid by credit card, PayPal, or Google Pay, as check and invoice options will no longer be available. Visit libconference.org/registration/attendee/ for full registration details, rates, and deadlines, or contact lilcre...@gmail.com with conference questions.

And we promise, no “Are you open?” calls that day.

See you in May!

The 2026 Long Island Library Conference Committee
