We are excited to invite you to the 20th Annual REFORMA Northeast Joint Mini-Conference! This regional coming together of the five ALA NALCos will take place on Friday, June 14, 2024 at the Bronx Library Center of the New York Public Library. This year's theme is "The Power of 'Welcome!": Strategies for Maximizing Libraries as a Place for Everyone."
We are thrilled to announce that our keynote speaker will be Ms. Shauntee Burns-Simpson, currently Director of Youth & Family Services for the District of Columbia Public Library Foundation and known to many of us as a long-time librarian in New York and for her tireless work in BCALA and ALA. The day will also feature a variety of speakers from both public and academic libraries in the Northeast.
