The Western Pennsylvania/West Virginia Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries invites library professionals and other interested parties to register for our 2024 Spring Conference. This year's conference will be held at Slippery Rock University's Smith Student Center in Slippery Rock, PA on Friday, June 14. Check-in begins at 8:30 AM and the conference concludes at 3 PM, though there will be an optional after-conference tour for those who wish to visit Slippery Rock University's Bailey Library.

Registration will close on
Friday, June 7. To sign up, complete the registration form.
 
The theme is "Academic and Intellectual Freedom: Opportunities in the 21st Century" and features a selection of 30-minute presentations, lightning talks, and poster presentations. The Programming committee has shared this tentative itinerary with session descriptions. There will also be ample time for camaraderie and networking. 
 
We hope you will consider joining us at the conference and joining the chapter or renewing your membership for 2024-2025. Membership is not required to attend the conference, but members will receive a $5 discount on the base conference fee of $20. Lunch is included.
