Summary:
The Delaware Library and Maryland Library Associations first partnered in 2012 to provide a joint state conference. Our Associations mutually support the desires of our members to provide high quality workshops, presentations and speakers at an event that can be enjoyed by all library staff, administrators and supporters. The more involved each DLA Divisions and members are, the more relevant we make it. This ensures that there is something for everyone at our annual conference.
Responsibilities:
Each Division provides at least one workshop (and are encouraged to submit two or three proposals) and a silent auction donation at the conference. Committees are encouraged to provide workshops as well.
Ideally, every Delaware library staff person, administrator, trustee and supporter who wants to be involved with the conference will feel welcome to do so. Perhaps your group would like to help with the silent auction or hold a poster session? There are many ways to be involved.
