2009 Conference

Plans for special events are well underway for the next MLA conference to be held in Hattiesburg, MS, October 21 to 23, 2009. This year is the 100th anniversary of our association. This year is a wonderful opportunity to remember our past with pride in all we have done to make MLA the viable organization that it is today. In spite of the challenges of the past and the present, librarians have served our state professional association with enthusiasm, imagination and integrity for one hundred years. As we look forward to our future, and keeping in mind this special theme of environmental sustainability in libraries, let’s plan to attend this very eventful conference. Please check this page often for additional updates as information about conference events and programming is made available. MLA 2009 Conference Logo
