And speaking of National Conferences...

National conferences are a great way to learn about new trends in the library field and meet others who do what you do, but the trips can be expensive to fund. To assist our libraries, each year OWLS sponsors the attendance of one librarian or trustee from each member county at national library or library-related conferences. OWLS pays for registration, transportation, hotel room and meals (a daily per diem is set by the OWLS Board annually). Attendees are responsible for optional and incidental expenses. Additional information is located on the OWLS CE page. View the list of eligible conferences and apply for a grant via our web form. We look forward to receiving your application!
