Save the date! Manitoba Libraries Conference 2010

On behalf of the Manitoba Association of Library Technicians (MALT), the Manitoba

  Library Association (MLA) and Public Library Services (PLS), I am pleased to

  announce that the Manitoba Libraries conference will take place

May 17 - 19, 2010 at the Delta Hotel in Winnipeg.

The MLA has traditionally (though not always!) held conferences every second

year. Beginning this year, the MLA will endeavour to hold annual conferences for

 its members. This is possible largely due to the partnership that has been

established with MALT and PLSB. It is our hope that this collaborative effort will have

 a positive impact on the diversity of conference programming, while continuing to

 foster partnerships within our provincial library community as a whole. Further

 information about the conference theme and other details will follow shortly.

If you are interested in a fun, challenging, and rewarding volunteer

opportunity with the conference planning committee, please email either me
