Our conference theme focuses on the wellbeing and success of our people and invites us to examine our current practices, approaches and services to our families and communities.

Conference themes:

How do our families and communities engage with libraries?
What opportunities are there for libraries to respond to their communities more effectively? What creative and innovative possibilities are you considering? What can we learn from other sectors?
