The Central Plains Library System is hosting its second one-day Conference on April 30, 2026, at the Kearney Public Library from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Click here to register.
The registration fee is $25 which includes lunch. This fee may be paid on-site with cash or check, or by having your funding agency mail a check to the System office.
Mitchell Roush will be our keynote speaker. Mitch will explore the power of capturing your library story and empowering your community to help carry that positive message along the way. We have a great line-up of speakers including Ethan Nelson from the Western Library System, Tammi Theim from the Three Rivers Library System, Andrew Sherman, Sally Snyder, and Nebraska Author, Tammy Marshall plus many more. There will even be a Koha Users’ Group Meeting!
Lunch features a “Create Your Own” pasta meal with options including fettuccine, spaghetti, and penne; chicken and meatballs; alfredo and marinara sauces; garden and Caesar salads; garlic bread, and breadsticks. Dessert will be a delicious surprise.
You will have plenty of time to reconnect with other CPLS librarians. Participants will earn up to 6 CEs for the day. Library Directors, Staff Members, and Board Members will all find sessions that will interest them. There will be plenty of giveaways, too!
This activity is supported in part with funding from the State of Nebraska and from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Nebraska Library Commission.
