We are thrilled to announce the BC Library Summer Conference!

The BC Library Association is pleased to bring you a selection of recorded and live virtual presentations that were originally slated for the in-person BC Library Conference.  These sessions, while not directly about COVID-19, are meant to support us through the current crisis and help inform our thinking through the many stages of reimagining, rebuilding, and reinventing our libraries.  All sessions are free to attend and to view.
