In-Person Meeting at the Officer Governance Workshop
July 11 at 8 AM

Bastrop Room
We will have a small business meeting then use the rest of the time to hear from attendees about what they would like to see from CULD in 2025. Additionally, this will just be a good time to meet other CULD members and make connections. We hope to see you there!

Volunteer Opportunities

Join one of the CULD committees or volunteer to help on their projects. Volunteering is an opportunity to show your support for academic libraries and meet librarians from across the Lone Star State.
