Today's Skills for Tomorrow's Libraries
Today's Skills for Tomorrow's Libraries brings together library professionals for a three-day conference to explore how today's innovative services and emerging technologies are shaping the future of libraries and our services we provide to our patrons. This forward-looking conference will showcase cutting-edge programs, emerging technologies, and innovative programming that redefine the library's role in a rapidly evolving world.
