CLA CONFERENCE 2026:

pEOPLE-pOWERED cOMMUNITIES

 ANNOUNCEMENTS

The 2026 Conference theme is "People-Powered Communities" to emphasize that libraries are more than the best resource for free access to information, more than a gathering place for people to learn and connect, more than a place that welcomes all people without prejudice. 

Libraries are community. 

Libraries are people. 

Libraries are not just gears in a machine, but the soul of our communities, powered by the people.
