Symposium on the Future of Libraries

The Symposium on the Future of Libraries is part of the ALA Midwinter Meeting and Exhibits. The Symposium features sessions to help attendees consider the near-term trends already inspiring innovation in libraries and the longer-term trends that will help us adapt to the needs of our communities. Participation in the Symposium is included with attendees' registration for the Midwinter Meeting and Exhibits.

In addition to sessions led by librarian innovators from academic, public, school, and special libraries, the Symposium regularly features civic, education, social, and technology innovators from allied professions, helping us explore what’s next for cities, campuses, and communities.
