ACL Annual Conference Poster Sessions invite librarians and library staff to showcase the brilliance behind their successful ideas, tools, programs, or projects! These vibrant posters will take center stage during a dedicated in-person session on Tuesday, June 3.
Ready to share your library wisdom with the world? Have a game-changing idea, discovery, or experience to share with your fellow librarians? Whether it’s about social media, information literacy, management, tech trends, or anything in between—your insights matter! Posters are your canvas to exhibit innovations, cool tools, and projects in a non-overwhelming way. This is your golden opportunity to inspire fellow librarians and make a splash in the conference presentation space. Ready to share? Watch for more details in the new year!
