I GEEK KANSAS LIBRARIES
KLA Conference 2012
The call is going out for program proposals for the 2012 KLA Conference to be held in Wichita April 11-13, 2012. Using the theme I GEEK KANSAS LIBRARIES, the conference again promises to be the place for Kansas Librarians to share, network, learn, and have a good time. You can be an important part in this conference by submitting a proposal for a program. So, Sections, Roundtables, Librarians and others, put your thinking cap on and send us a proposal.
We’re looking forward to seeing you in Wichita next spring. Put the date on your calendar. And send in those proposals.
