ARSL 2025 Conference Theme Announcement

ARSL is thrilled to unveil the official theme for our 2025 annual conference! Introducing... (drumroll, please)

#ARSL2025 – Libraries Rise!

This theme captures the resilience, innovation, and collaboration that define small and rural libraries. We recognize the challenges our communities face—tight budgets, small spaces, and limited staffing—but also the incredible creativity and determination that allow us to soar despite these obstacles. Together, we will rise to new heights! Join us in Albuquerque, NM, September 17-20, 2025! Stay tuned for more conference updates, and we can’t wait to see you there!

“The thing I remember best about successful people I’ve met all through the years is their obvious delight in what they’re doing … and it seems to have very little to do with worldly success. They just love what they’re doing, and they love it in front of others.” ~ Fred Rogers
