<p class="MsoNormal">We’re now accepting program proposals for the <a href="https://www.wla.org/2020-academic-library-conference">
WLA Academic Library Conference</a>! CLAWS (College Libraries Across Washington State) and ALD (Academic Library Division) will come together with their first-ever conference. This all-day event will be held on March 20, 2020, at Central Washington University
in Ellensburg. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYLNH4ctxCRQwnig3vOkB8olRrUXXsJH8uWAhivS9wmmTutw/viewform">
Submit your proposals here</a>!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The conference theme of "Deep Roots, New Growth" seeks to cultivate the fruit of academic library work while staying grounded in an ever-changing library environment. We find ourselves at a crossroads of new and emerging ways of accessing
information in academic libraries and continuously challenging the library image on campus, while also staying connected to the bedrock principles of libraries. How do we remain responsive to a changing student population, as well as increasing focus on diversity
and inclusion? How can we grow with the culture of our campus patrons and rise to meet the future needs of teaching and learning? On behalf of Academic Library Division (ALD) and College Librarians Across Washington State (CLAWS) of WLA, we invite you to submit
participate in our spring 2020 conference by submitting a proposal drawing on these themes.<o:p></o:p></p>
