Call for Proposals
Call for Breakout Session Program Proposals and Cool Things My Library Does Poster Presentations Now Open
Michigan Library Association's Spring Institute for Youth Services
"People First"
March 19-20, 2020
Sheraton Hotel, Ann Arbor
Breakout Session Proposals are due Friday, November 8, 2019.

Cool Things My Library Does Proposals are due January 10, 2020.
You are invited to submit a proposal for a breakout session or poster presentation at MLA's Spring Institute for Youth Services, March 19-20 at the Sheraton Hotel in Ann Arbor.

This year the conference theme is People First, where we will aim to educate and honor library staff and patrons through people-first practices in hiring, advocacy, displays, programs and collections. By focusing on the needs of our patrons and staff as a top priority and placing a high value on respect we can empower growth within our own communities regardless of our role within the library.

All topics are welcome to be proposed. Examples could be, but not limited to: early literacy, diversity, coding/STEM, grants/fundraising, music, personal development, collaboration, self-care, programming, collections and management.

View detailed information including the program guidelines and timeline and submit your proposal via the online form.
