Mark your calendars for the first ever WLA Virtual Conference on Tuesday, January 14, 2020! This all-day event will bring together library professionals from around Washington and the world to build connections and envision the future of libraries.

By holding this conference online, we’re able to lower the barriers of attending and presenting that many face due to limited staffing, funding, or location.

Meet our Virtual Conference Committee!

Group Viewings

Group viewings are one great way to engage your staff, generate a discussion, and make the conference locally relevant. Groups can be as small as two to be effective! WLA encourages organizations to use our Group Viewing Guide to plan before, during, and after the virtual conference. For group pricing options, contact [email protected].
