While many events come with your 2014 Conference registration, some events are ticketed.  The following events require tickets:

  • Wednesday, October 22: Preconference with John Chrastka and Patrick Sweeney ($25 for members, $30 for non-members). At this session Chrastka and Sweeney want to share what they learned while working on the battleground of library ballot campaigns. They want to encourage a public dialog between librarians about the importance of politics in our daily routine and to encourage each other to get involved in the fight for library funding at the ballot box.  They will also be sharing many of the tips and tricks that national SuperPACs use to build advocacy and coalitions and communities of supporters.
