Colleagues:

 

We're hoping that many of you have heard the news that Columbus, Ohio will
be the site for this year's World Library and Information Congress,
sponsored by the

Associations and Institutions. The Congress expects to attract nearly 5,000
librarians from more than 100 countries around the globe.

 

As co-chairs of the 2016 National Committee, we're asking for your help in
getting the word out about the Congress. It's been 15 years since the
Congress was in the United States and the National Committee is hard at work
to bring delegates an exceptional experience!

 

Registration for the Congress is now open and
