The Power of Us: Libraries in Action
The 2025 Conference Planning Committee is pleased to announce the theme for this year's annual conference. Our conference theme is The Power of Us: Libraries in Action. The Power of Us: Libraries in Action celebrates the transformative role of libraries as dynamic centers of community engagement, learning and innovation. This theme recognizes that the true power of libraries lies not just in their collections, but in the collective action of library workers, patrons, students and communities working together to create positive experiences for library users. The South Carolina Library Association is committed to providing a platform for many voices and perspectives that support libraries. The conference will be held Monday, October 27th*-Thursday, October 30th, 2025 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in Columbia, South Carolina. *Pre-conference sessions will take place at Richland Library in Columbia, South Carolina on Monday, October 27th, 2025. Please check back for information on keynote speakers, the conference agenda, and other amazing events!
