[Michlib-l] Last month for Early Bird Registration for ARSL2016

[Colleen Leddy]

If you're considering attending the Association for Rural and Small
Libraries conference, check out the cheap rates and early bird info below:

August is here and that means it is time to hurry and get your
registrations in for the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL)
annual conference October 27-29th in Fargo, ND.  Early bird registration
and fees are due no later than September 2nd, so visit arsl.info to get
your registration started.

*Why should you come to ARSL2016? *

Well first and foremost, it is a national conference organized by small and
rural librarians for professionals who work in small and rural libraries. A
list of break-out sessions can be found here
<http://arsl.info/2016-conference-sessions/> . (And if you wonder what the
definition of small and rural is, we operate under if you think you might
be, you probably are!)

Secondly, this conference is incredibly affordable.  Full conference rates
begin at $243.85, which includes 3 breakfast meals, 2 lunches, the welcome
reception, and all author events.  This year our keynote speakers line-up
can be found here

and
includes best selling author William Kent Kruger and Betty Gronneberg,
founder of uCodeGirl. Also, the conference hotel (Holiday Inn Fargo) is
offering a low conference rate of $99/night!

Finally, this conference is the best opportunity to meet and visit with
other library professionals who truly understand what it is like to work
with limited staff and an even more limited budget. By participating in
after hour opportunities like dine-arounds and game night, you will be able
to grow your professional network from outside of your immediate area to a
national network of friends and colleagues. Many who come to this
conference stay connected during the year and search each other out at
future conferences.

We hope you are able to join us and look forward to seeing you at ARSL2016
in Fargo, ND this October 27-29th (unless you come in early for a
pre-conference or tour on the 26th!)

Thank you,
