2021 ARSL Conference

When: October 20-23, 2021
Where: Reno/Sparks, Nevada

The 2021 ARSL Conference will be held at the Nugget Resort in Reno/Sparks, Nevada, from October 20-23. We hope to see you for the full in-person experience, though we will also have select virtual offerings for those who can’t make the trip this time.

Our committee is excited to announce our 2021 theme: The Biggest Little Library Conference. Our libraries may be small, but our community is mighty. As we come together to share ideas and learn from each other in Reno, the “Biggest Little City,” the possibilities are huge.

The committee is currently in the process of selecting keynotes, building a schedule, and incorporating feedback from previous conferences to make 2021 our best conference yet. Our goal is to infuse principles of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion into every level of the conference, from including diverse perspectives in programs to removing barriers to access.
