A House United: Strengthening the Social Fabric

Join us for the 11th annual Library Journal Directors' Summit, November 7-8, 2019 at the Tulsa City-County Library.

In the face of increasing pressure on our social infrastructure, libraries are responding to crisis and chronic issues and achieving better outcomes for their communities. This two-day convening of public library leaders will focus on the resilience of libraries and the crucial role that they’re playing as a unifying force – ‘the glue’ - in towns and cities, large and small.

Registration is open to public library leaders at the executive director, director and deputy director levels (titles may vary). If you would like to request a complimentary registration and are unsure if you meet this criteria, please email us your request.
