“Libraries Out Loud” is the theme for the 2010 Illinois Library Association Annual Conference to be held at Navy Pier in Chicago September 28-30. Program proposals are being sought from all types of libraries and agencies with which they interact – for example, a municipality, a school, a corporation or a university. Organizers are placing emphasis on programs that highlight partnerships — whether those partnerships exist between libraries or with community organizations such as park districts or chambers of commerce. Program proposals are due by January 11, 2010. The call for proposals can be viewed at the ILA website.

All presenters (librarians and any non-library partners) are entitled to a single day registration to the conference as a thank you for their efforts. Join the library community at Navy Pier September 28-30, 2010 and let your voice be heard!
