CHALLENGES for LIANZA Conference 2019 ​

Conference Theme -- Our Families, Our Communities, Our Libraries! 

Preparations are well underway for LIANZA Conference 2019. We have an amazing line-up of keynote speakers and, as with any conference, these speakers receive a fee.

However, two of our keynotes have asked us to do something different for their speaking fees, resulting in challenges that we hope LIANZA members will help us meet! Both challenges are sure to engage us with our conference theme and to test us – as Patrick Ness says, Librarians are tour-guides for all of knowledge!

Are you up to the challenge?
