KLA 2025 Conference

Join us for the 2025 KLA Conference in Manhattan, Kansas from November 5 - November 7! This year's theme is Libraries Everlasting: Celebrating 125 years of Freadom.

The Kansas Library Association was founded in December of 1900, when 23 librarians attended an organizational meeting and elected the first president, James L. King of Topeka. Since then, the association has met annually (with the exception of the years 1918 and 1943) to facilitate the acquisition of needed skills and expand opportunities for professional development within the library community. Now in KLA's 125th year, the 2025 Conference Committee is excited to once again bring together librarians and library workers from across the state to connect, learn, and celebrate 125 years of providing access to information, education, and resources to all Kansans.

Conference Location: Manhattan Conference Center | 510 S 3rd St, Manhattan, KS 66502
