The Conference Committee of the Oregon and Washington Library Associations looks forward to April 17th, when we will welcome library staff, trustees, friends, students, and all people interested in libraries to our joint conference in Portland, Oregon. We encourage you to take the opportunity to learn, discuss and debate with our speakers, not only in formal programs but during social get-togethers such as meals, receptions, and the Friday cruise. In addition to the nationally known speakers at our keynote session and the president's banquet, you'll find ten learning tracks, as well as seven half-day or full-day preconferences. Please join us as we cross geographic, educational, and personal bridges that will contribute to building our services to Oregon and Washington library customers.
