MLA 2024 Conference

Come learn more about MLA's Minnesota Libraries Trustees and Advocates (MLTA) Section, whose purpose is: 

• To promote, develop and extend library service in the State of Minnesota through cooperation with MLA and the Minnesota Department of Education.
• To provide library trustees with the opportunity for an exchange of ideas.
• To supply information to the public with regard to library services and finances.
• To stimulate the interest of trustees in becoming more effective in developing library policies.

Come learn about MLA's Small and Rural Libraries Round Table (SRLRT), whose purpose is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, concerns and information; to plan and present programs or workshops at conferences and within the state which will benefit staff of small, rural libraries. 

RART is the Readers' Advisory Round Table, and is a subunit of the Minnesota Library Association. RART’s goal is to provide a forum for discussion about adult and young adult books, both fiction and non-fiction. Members share information about books and authors from the point of view of reader’s advisory services most frequently in public libraries. There are opportunities to share techniques and expertise in book talking and "on the spot" reader’s advisory.
Every year, RART hosts a retreat, bringing together members of the profession who are interested in improving their reader’s advisory skills, learning more about the world of books, and sharing their experiences. RART also sponsors related sessions at the annual MLA conference. Come learn more!
