We're really excited about these newly confirmed sessions at our upcoming Library Advocacy and Funding Conference!

Did you know that 98% of library funding is political in nature? That means that 98% of library funding is determined by voters and legislators at the local, state, and federal levels.

However, in the last ten years, libraries have lost nearly 20% of voter and political support for funding and revenue. And now, libraries are also being attacked by extremist activists, politicians, book banners, and scam PACs - and those attacks are gaining traction among voters.

Register today and reserve your spot for this great conference.

The Library Advocacy and Funding Conference (LAFCON) is the first and only conference dedicated to addressing the source of 98 percent of library funding: Politics.

All tracks and topics will be pre-recorded and available on day one with speakers and attendees interacting live throughout all three days of the conference. You'll also get complimentary access to all of the sessions from our previous LAFCON event.
