IHLS Member Day

Annual Library Conference for IHLS Members

The IHLS Annual Member Day conference has continued to grow and expand to a full day of professional development, networking, and inspiration for all library types. This day was created for IHLS-member libraries as an annual day of appreciation and has continued to be our biggest continuing education and networking event of the year! Please join us this year for a chance to earn Professional Development Hours (PDH), win prizes, and network with other libraries within IHLS's 28,368-square-mile service area.
