<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><b>Big Talk From Small Libraries 2016</b> will be held on Friday, February 26, 2016 between 8:45 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT) (6:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. PT) via the GoToWebinar online meeting service.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">We’ve been listening! A comment we’ve heard pretty often is that so many presentations at conferences seem to be by and for librarians from larger libraries. Well, Big Talk From Small Libraries will change that.
This free one-day online conference is aimed at librarians from small libraries; the smaller the better. Each of our speakers will be from a small library or directly works with small libraries.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Topics will range from technology (new tech and old tech) to programming to new roles for the library. Come for the programs on what you’re dealing with now, or maybe try something new.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Everyone is welcome to register and attend, regardless of how big or small their library is, but if your library serves a few thousand people, or a few hundred, this is the day for you.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
