[Libs-Or] Last Month for Early Bird Registration for ARSL 2016

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings! The following is from the Association for Rural and Small Libraries Conference Committee, please see the contact information at the bottom if you have any questions.

August is here and that means it is time to hurry and get your registrations in for the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL) annual conference October 27-29th in Fargo, ND.  Early bird registration and fees are due no later than September 2nd, so visit arsl.info<http://arsl.info> to get your registration started.

Why should you come to ARSL2016?

Well first and foremost, it is a national conference organized by small and rural librarians for professionals who work in small and rural libraries. A list of break-out sessions can be found here<http://arsl.info/2016-conference-sessions/> . (And if you wonder what the definition of small and rural is, we operate under if you think you might be, you probably are!)

Secondly, this conference is incredibly affordable.  Full conference rates begin at $243.85, which includes 3 breakfast meals, 2 lunches, the welcome reception, and all author events.  This year our keynote speakers line-up can be found here<https://tackk.com/yz9urz?utm_source=tackk&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=share_embed> and includes best-selling author William Kent Kruger and Betty Gronneberg, founder of uCodeGirl. Also, the conference hotel (Holiday Inn Fargo) is offering a low conference rate of $99/night!

Finally, this conference is the best opportunity to meet and visit with other library professionals who truly understand what it is like to work with limited staff and an even more limited budget. By participating in after hour opportunities like dine-arounds and game night, you will be able to grow your professional network from outside of your immediate area to a national network of friends and colleagues. Many who come to this conference stay connected during the year and search each other out at future conferences.

We hope you are able to join us and look forward to seeing you at ARSL2016 in Fargo, ND this October 27-29th (unless you come in early for a pre-conference or tour on the 26th!)

Thank you,
Julie Elmore
