Fall Meeting
TLA District 7 Fall 2025 Meeting: Information coming soon!
Learn about the new ALA book, Strengthening Library Ecosystems: Collaborate for Advocacy and Impact from lead author Dorcas Hand. Deepen your understanding of these new ideas by discussing them with your tablemates as together you build and strengthen a D7 Library Ecosystem for local advocacy. You’ll leave with a Personal Action Plan to carry you forward, as well as stronger bonds to colleagues across the district to move all of you forward together with strong libraries and stronger library advocacy.
