MLS invites you to join us for our Annual Meeting, our first in person since 2019. Join us for a day of connections, learning, and interactions with colleagues and speakers. More details forthcoming; morning coffee, pastries, and lunch will be served. 

Please note: Our Annual Meeting will take place in person at the Devens Commons Center in Devens, MA, not at Holy Cross as in years past. 

The agenda will include our annual business meeting and vote, updates from the MA Library System. MA Board of Library Commissioners, and MA Library Association's Legislative Committee. 

We’re pleased to welcome two keynote speakers:

• Michael Bobbitt, Executive Director, Mass Cultural Council, will deliver a keynote entitled, "Libraries are the center of equity, diversity, & inclusion". 
• Cynthia Leitich Smith, Muscogee Citizen, NSD Neustadt Laureate, and NYT bestselling author will deliver a keynote entitled "What Now? What Next? Navigating the Power of Story in a Contentious World". 

More information, including our Business Meeting Packet, will be added in the coming weeks.
