Welcome Breakfast & Keynote: Rise & Shine with Mychal Threets in Conversation with Rebecca Hass | Thursday, Sept. 18, 8:30-9:30 AM

Start your ARSL experience with joy! Join us for our Welcome Keynote & Breakfast featuring a tone-setting conversation on library joy with Mychal Threets and Rebecca Hass!

In a time when life (and library work) can feel especially heavy, Mychal and Rebecca will explore how we can intentionally center joy, care, and mental health in our professional lives. 

About the Conference

#ARSL2025 is the conference for rural and small libraries. Our conference planners and presenters understand the constraints of shoestring budgets, small spaces, and limited staffing within small and rural libraries, as well as the unique opportunities for innovation and collaboration. Our conference is packed full of information you can take right back to your library—no scaling down required.

This year's conference theme is Libraries Rise! 

This theme captures the resilience, innovation, and collaboration that define small and rural libraries. We recognize the challenges our communities face—tight budgets, small spaces, and limited staffing—but also the incredible creativity and determination that allow us to soar despite these obstacles.
