A library is a focal point, a sacred place to a community; and its sacredness is its accessibility, its publicness. It’s everybody’s place.

Ursula K. Le Guin

We are seeking: oral presentations or panel discussions (60 minutes), lightning talks (10 minutes) and poster sessions that exhibit creative, inspiring ideas and practical approaches on topics relevant to library and information professionals.
