Seguimos Creando Enlaces (We Continue Creating Connections) is a free conference that fosters community connections and cultural diversity in public, academic, and special libraries. This event brings together libraries from the US, Mexico, and across the globe to share best practices and build more inclusive library spaces.
Conference sessions are proudly presented in both English and Spanish and include live translation.
Seguimos Creando Enlaces is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian. Seguimos Creando Enlaces is a component of California Libraries Learn (CALL) , the statewide library staff training project funded under the provisions of the federal Library Services and Technology Act and administered by the California Library Association (CLA). This project provides professional learning opportunities for staff members working in California’s libraries.
All librarians, library staff and library school students are encouraged to attend!
The Seguimos Creando Enlaces Planning Committee is looking forward to organizing the next conference event and continuing to provide opportunities for binational library workers to create new connections.
