Fall in the Upper Peninsula, what could be better? This year we're going Back to Basics and Beyond for the UPRLC Conference! Held in beautiful Iron Mountain on September 17th and 18th, this year's conference is showcasing front line services along with how to navigate in today's climate in libraries. We are happy to feature Cathy Russ and Kristin Fontichiaro as our keynote speakers this year, along with speakers from around the state on a variety of topics from budgeting to programs, from cataloging to a workshop on learning how to speak in front of people more confidently, and many more.
