NMLA 2024 Carlsbad

May 12, 2024: deadline for pre-conference proposals.

June 16, 2024: deadline for conference proposals.

The New Mexico Library Association is calling for proposals for our theme for the annual conference in Carlsbad this October. Dragons in the Dark asks New Mexican librarians to come together and talk about tough situations and “impossible” problems. What dragons has your library been dealing with? How did you slay them? Or what are you doing to confront them?

Possible topics may include:

Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Book Banning/ Censorship
Intellectual Freedom
Conflicts with Library Stakeholders
Digital Equity
Social Media and Youth
Burnout
Board Dynamics
Emotional Wellbeing
Political Climate
Financial Challenges
Other Challenges

*Members-at-Large will reach out to SIGs to check whether or not they want a meeting at the conference.
