Deadline for proposals is September 30, 2015.
The Southern Alberta Library Conference (SALC) 2016 Planning Committee is inviting proposals for concurrent sessions for its conference in Lethbridge, Alberta March 3-5, 2016.
Libraries Connecting Communities
When people are connected, communities thrive. Today’s public library can ignite community enthusiasm and collaboration by providing opportunities for people to connect through new technologies, shared interests and valued partnerships. Libraries prove their worth by providing relevant and responsive services that help individuals and organizations within a community connect with one another.
The planning committee invites session proposals that highlight ways in which libraries are fostering connections in their communities.
Topics could include (but are not limited to):
- Outreach
- Engagement
- Building community partnerships
- Needs Assessment, Community Conversations
- Friends of the Library Groups
- Programming
- Customer Service
- Connections using technology
- Program/Service Evaluation
We encourage all proposals to consider how the subject matter can be applied to rural libraries. Proposals on a variety of board development topics are also welcome.
All concurrent sessions are 75 minutes in length.
Please fill out the SALC 2016 Call for Proposals Form to submit a proposal.
*If you have any issues submitting the form, feel free to send it back via email to ljessop@chinookarch.ca.
If you have any questions, please contact Lauren Jessop at Chinook Arch Regional Library System (ljessop@chinookarch.ca). Please share this Call for Proposals with your colleagues.
We look forward to seeing you at SALC 2016!
