The 119th Annual Conference will be held at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT.
From a baby at a lapsit program in a public library, to a student in a school library, on to the academic library of higher education, and then back to the public library as an adult bringing their own children to lapsit, the library is a constant in our lives. Through this time of economic turmoil and uncertain budgets, librarians have worked together to preserve the tools required to provide information to all patrons. We seek to minimize our differences and celebrate our common ground!

Some programs you'll see...

Monday – 9:00 am Keynote ♦ Gina Barecca: Laughter is the Best Medicine
Join Regina Barecca, humorist, author and educator as she helps us navigate through these tough times using our sense of humor.

Monday – Noon ♦ Teen Spaces: Making It Work
Big space? Teeny space? No space? How do you use the room you have to make teens feel welcome at your library? Come to a visually-rich discussion on teen spaces. We'll be sharing photos and videos of many libraries' teen areas across the state. See how your fellow librarians utilize what they've got and get some tips on how you can design the teen space of your dreams. Find out how to maximize the minimum and make your space work for you and for your teens!

Tuesday – 3:30 pm ♦ Library Salaries in the Real World
Panelists Richard Conroy, director of the Essex Library Association, and Sandy Brooks, author of "Support Staff Salaries in CT, 1998-2008" will present a salary outlook for librarians and library support staff in Connecticut.
