We’re really excited at CMLE because this week is the MLA Annual Conference and it’s happening just across the river from us at the St. Cloud Convention Center!

Thursday Oct. 11th – Friday Oct. 12th you can join CMLE staff and other fantastic library folks from all over the state to learn more about this year’s theme, Programmed to Lead.
“We will discuss how libraries are leading their communities and campuses in solving problems through, and addressing issues with, digital technology. The idea too is to encourage libraries to embrace these leadership roles since they are so well-equipped to do so with the tools, resources, and skills they possess.”

CMLE staff will be presenting on both Thursday and Friday of the conference! We’ll be talking about community engagement Thursday at 8am and podcast leadership training Friday at 10:30am. You can check out the full conference schedule here.
