The Washington Library Association is excited to share that registration is now open for the 2022 WLA Accessibility in Libraries Summit!
This all-day virtual event on Friday, October 21, will bring together library professionals in Washington AND BEYOND to engage in topics surrounding accessibility. The Summit will have a single interdisciplinary track:
- Keynote: Library Accessibility: What I Didn’t Learn in Library School (Renee Grassi, Dakota County Library)
- Accessible E-Resources (Ray Zill, Evergreen State College)
- See, Feel, Hear: Multisensory Youth Programming (Erin Groth, Washington Talking Book & Braille Library)
- Accessibility Courses & Accessibility Applied at CWU (Dr. Naomi Jeffery Petersen & Elizabeth Brown, Central Washington University)
- Keeping Board Game Collections and Events Inclusive (John Pappas, Lower Merion Library System)
Those who cannot attend the sessions live will receive access to recordings after the event.
The individual cost is $55 for non-members, but due to popular demand, WLA is offering rates based on the number of employees in your organization! This organizational rate will allow you to purchase a pass to grant ALL staff online access to the Summit! An all-access pass will allow staff from all levels, roles, and career stages to attend for a flat fee. Your employees can pop in and out of live sessions as their schedules allow, and they will have access to all session recordings afterward. The cost is less than the regular member rate, and your staff at all levels can each have access to the full day’s schedule of quality professional development.
