Missouri Library Association Conference

Changing Faces - Enduring Values

 October 2 - 4, 2002

 
Downtown Marriott, Kansas City
2002 Conference Theme
The Theme for the 2002 MLA Annual Conference will be Changing Faces/Enduring Values. The conference,  to be held October 2-4th 2002, in Kansas City will reflect the commitment Missouri Librarian have to serving new populations. In addition to the new immigrants and non-speakers of English, the 21st Century Missouri librarian is encountering many new patrons and ways to serve them. Included in this group are the growing populations of teenagers and senior citizens, home-schooled students, non traditional college students and even the library patron we don't speak to or see but serve via the Internet.

Program ideas are now being accepted. Questions about possible programs can be addressed to Conference Coordinator Joel Jones of the Kansas City Public Library or MLA Executive Director Jean Ann McCartney.
