The inaugural Little Branches, Rural Roots Library Conference will be taking place at the Arnprior Public Library on October 4 and 5, 2019. This conference has been tailored to meet the needs of small, rural libraries in Ontario following the abrupt cancellation of OLS North’s annual conference due to funding cuts.

The steering committee is comprised of four CEOs representing 4 single branch libraries located in Renfrew County.

We have confirmed author visits, sessions and workshops covering topics such as fundraising, Friends Groups, podcasting for small libraries, processing and mending, employee engagement, an Interlibrary Loan roundtable, dealing with mental health issues in a rural setting as well as a youth services component.

Icebreakers and special events include an historical/haunted walk through the streets of Arnprior, a wine tasting/trivia night and plenty of opportunity to network.
