ALA ANNUAL CONFERENCE
By its nature, the ALA Annual Conference attracts librarians from all levels of management, from all types of libraries from across the country. It serves as a meeting place for leadership, a place to learn, a place to network and as a forum to exchange ideas on the multitude of issues affecting libraries. When in Chicago, the event attracts over 25,000 attendees who come prepared to make decisions. In addition to the programs presented by today’s leading library authorities, the exhibit floor is considered an integral part of the educational process of the Annual Conference.
Through its 62,000 members, the ALA serves as a resource for the public, academic, private and school libraries; is responsible for accreditation of library school programs; and acts as a major advocate for literacy, intellectual freedom and the preservation of library materials.
