Minnesota Library Association is seeking presentation proposals for the
2012 Annual Conference: “Minnesota Libraries: A Capitol Idea”
           
The Minnesota Library Association Annual Conference equips library staff with new ideas and tools to stay up-to-date, innovate, and succeed in their careers. A presentation at the conference can have an immediate and lasting impact on local libraries.

The 2012 Annual Conference will be held October 3-5 at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sessions will run 60 minutes—a length appropriate for 1-3 speakers. The format of the presentation may include single or multiple speakers, panel discussions, case studies, and/or demonstrations of projects.

New for 2012 is MonstrosiTEEN—a micro, one-day conference on Thursday focused on teens. A teen-related session will be featured in each of the day’s four breakout sessions.

To learn more about the conference and to submit a presentation proposal, please visit www.mnlibraryassociation.org/mlaconference2012. The deadline for presentation proposals is April 20, 2012.
