Welcome to the 2020 BC Library Associations’ Summer Conference!
With such an amazing program of speakers and topics lined up for the 2020 BC Library Conference, we knew we wanted to find a way for our presenters to still be able to share their work and their ideas. We are calling this virtual series: The Conversation Continues. It is our hope that by making these presentations available, we continue to contribute to the professional development opportunities for our library community, and the conversation does indeed continue. Thank you to all our presenters who were able to commit the time and effort to transforming their presentations into an online format.
If you would like to attend a “live”session live, please register at the link(s) below. We will continue to add recorded sessions here as they become available.
