Celebrate. Connect. Lead the Way.

 

Each year, the Rural Library Network eSummit brings together over 500 rural library leaders, staff, and partners from across the country for a powerful virtual gathering focused on one thing: the transformational role of libraries in building strong, thriving communities. This is not your typical online conference—it’s a high-energy, highly practical experience that affirms your work, expands your resource toolkit, and connects you with peers who share your mission, “All Rural Students Succeed”.

 

The eSummit will feature keynote speaker Mychal Threets, a nationally known librarian and social media icon whose message centers on “Community Joy in Libraries.” Additional speakers, including Rebecca Hass, Montana Poet Laureate Chris La Tray, and breakout session speakers will inspire and equip participants to lead a “cradle to career” movement, activate partnerships and funding, strengthen local library systems, and share library “bright spots” from across rural America.         

 

Register here, today!
