You are invited to attend the 2020 Rural Libraries Conference at the Pomeroy Hotel and Conference Centre in Grande Prairie, Alberta which will take place on October 1 and 2, 2020.

This annual conference, hosted by Peace Library System, attracts more than 150 delegates, including library trustees, school and public library staff and librarians from northwestern Alberta, northeastern British Columbia, and the Northwest Territories. Over the course of two days, delegates are able to network, attend the exhibitor tradeshow, and participate in sessions on a variety of library-related topics.
