We will hold our annual conference in the Ashling Hotel, Dublin on Thursday 12th March 2026.
Our theme is “Celebrating Our Collective Power: Finding Strength in Difference“.
We all have different values, preferences, priorities, stakeholders, professional goals and ways of working. This diversity provides benefits to our profession with greater access to new ideas and innovations.
- Technology – how do we prepare for technological innovations such as AI
- Impact – how do we make a difference to others
- User Engagement – how do we ensure our services meet the varied needs of library users
- Resilience – how do we function well in the face of adversity
