The 2010 conference is being held August 11-14 in beautiful Victoria, BC. The theme for the 2010 conference is “No Library is an Island” and speaks to the need to collaborate effectively in difficult economic times. The theme is also a celebration of the cooperative spirit  that libraries have in their “DNA”. The joint PNLA/WLA conference is a chance to learn and share with colleagues in one of the library community’s few international conferences.

The joint conference will bring together library staff from five states and two provinces at the Victoria Conference Centre and the Fairmont Empress. Those of you that have attended PNLA conferences in the past will know the delicate balance of fun and learning that they are famous for. Having our  colleagues from the WLA join us makes the 2010 conference a once in a lifetime opportunity. Top-notch session speakers will mix with events such as “Corks and Cans” and tours that take advantage of the wonders  of Victoria in the summer to guarantee a conference experience nonpareil.

If you are interested in delivering a session, please note the deadline of October 20th.. To get updates on the conferences (announcement regarding keynote coming soon!) please check back to www.pnla.org or www.wla.org.

See you in Victoria next August!
