The ALA rate for the Avanti Resort is $99 for a single or a double. You must register for the Annual Conference before you can book a room at the ALA-rate. If you previously registered for the 2016 Annual Conference by purchasing the bundled registration, you can book a room in the NMRT block by calling 800-584-9047. Don’t forget to mention that you are looking for a room in the “NMRT block”. If you are registering for the Annual Conference online through ALA, make sure to mention that you are a member of NMRT. Need a roommate to keep costs down or just want a conference buddy? Consider posting or responding to room share requests made on NMRT-L, other listservs, and the NMRT Facebook page. Disclaimer: NMRT is not providing a roommate-matching service this year.
