NSLA Conference 2024: Make it Happen, Make it Matter!

OCTOBER 25-27, 2024, AMHERST NS

The 2024 NSLA Conference theme is Make it Happen, Make it Matter!

Libraries are more important than ever before. Make it Happen, Make it Matter! symbolizes the positive impacts libraries, and library staff, have on everyone who passes through our physical or digital doors. We provide exemplary service, and fill societal gaps, while offering engaging resources and experiences. Libraries are an inclusive space that celebrate diversity, we make inclusivity happen, and make it matter.

Library Staff Make it Happen. Whether we are helping a university student find the right article, or providing a warm and welcoming environment, library staff make our province a better place for everyone. We are a constant in an ever changing world, and have adapted to meet the needs of our diverse communities whenever necessary.

Library Staff Make it Matter. Everyone approaches library work differently. The impact libraries have is a direct result of the passionate people working on the front lines and behind the scenes. Therefore, it is important to share our experiences, celebrate our accomplishments, and promote our mutual ethos of connecting people to information and each other.

Come show us how you Make it Happen and Make it Matter at the 2024 NSLA Conference!

Call for Proposals here.

True Grit: Passion and perseverance for change. As the library’s role in the community grows broader, we must summon passion and perseverance in order to continue to adapt to our communities’ ever-changing needs. Grit means having courage, resolve, and strength of character. These traits are absolutely necessary for us to continue the work of change towards creating a better, more equitable and compassionate world. This is a time for us to both elevate and amplify stories and perspectives from equity-deserving communities, and to spark conversations on what libraries can and are doing to take action on social justice issues like racial justice, disability rights, 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, equality, and more.  Learn more about our theme .
