Save the date, September 23, 2026, for the next Amigos Library Services topical online conference, The Flexible Library. This online conference will include a keynote and a diverse selection of concurrent sessions for learners. Registration opening soon, and - as always - registration will be free for members.
Libraries continuously reflect creative and forward-thinking in their staffing, funding, and programming models. Library staffing and training structures help connect, train and support all people working in the library, including associates, social workers, student workers, volunteers, and degreed librarians. Innovative funding models explore new paths towards sustainable funding, budgeting, and grant-seeking. New modes of programming lean into methods that incorporate our communities into the library. The Flexible Library explores the many ways libraries can lean into change with flexibility.
For a chance to present at the conference, submit your proposal for a 45-minute session by August 12, 2026, to help explore the many ways libraries can lean into change with flexibility.
