The annual conference of the ABQLA would not be possible without the support of our sponsors.  Please take a moment to see who is providing us their support this year and consider patronizing their business.

The ABQLA is proud to announce its line-up of keynote speakers for our 2010 conference - Libraries as Learning Places.  Registration is now open.

Situated within our theme Library as Learning Places, the diversity of topics in this year's preliminary conference programme promises to address a variety of audiences and interests with a sampling of topics that include: LGBTQ Services and Collections in Libraries, Information Literacy and Student Success, and 21st Century School Libraries.
