Call for Program ProposalsBe part of the Renaissance. Share your story, your strategies, and your spark. We’re now accepting proposals for the 2026 NLA Conference. Do you have an idea, program, or experience that helped move your library forward? We want to hear from you. This year’s Renaissance theme celebrates creativity, reinvention, and growth across Nevada’s libraries. We welcome proposals that share successes, lessons learned, new approaches, and meaningful community impact. Whether you're leading a panel, offering hands‑on instruction, or sharing lessons from the field, we welcome proposals from professionals across all library types and roles (public, academic, school, special, tribal, and beyond). You don’t need to be an expert or a polished speaker to have something valuable to share. Some of the most impactful sessions come from people who simply want to tell their story, start a conversation, or show what worked (or didn’t) in their library. Why Present? Submit your proposal today and help create a masterpiece. Questions? | Schedule at a GlanceFriday, April 24, 2026
