THE TRI-CONFERENCE IS COMING!!!
By Randi Monley, Minot Public Library / MPLA Representative
I am so excited for the MPLA tri-conference, August 3-6, 2022, in the vibrant downtown area of Missoula, Montana. This conference brings together the Montana Library Association, Mountain Plains Library Association, and Pacific Northwest Library Association. We might see as many as 350 to 400 conference attendees! Can you imagine such a big conference just a state away from North Dakota?!
The conference theme is Building Bridges | Renewing Community, and will be held in the Holiday Inn-Missoula Downtown hotel. There will be over sixty speakers on the schedule from fifteen US states and Canada. The conference is located in downtown Missoula, just two blocks from the brand-new Missoula Public Library. Missoula Public Library has a unique organization model, where community partners are housed in the building. Library tours will be provided! In addition, receptions will be held at Missoula Public Library and the University of Montana’s Mansfield Library.
Conference registration is open (Remember, if you are a Mountain Plains Library Association member, you get the membership rate!)
Member Registration: Early/Late Non-Member Rate
Full Conference (Wed – Sat) $250/$300 $300/$350
