Idaho’s Public Library Directors come together once a year for this highlight event. This year participants will focus on creating and communicating stories that demonstrate the value of the library. These stories are built on our future-ready libraries with staff and trustees ready to take services forward. Join your network of peers to confidently demonstrate the role of the library in our communities.
