ASRL Conference 2025: Libraries Rise in Albuquerque, NM
We will be attending the ASRL Conference this year! Come see Lark Signs and learn more about our Read and Walk product! We will be at booth 302. See you there.
About the ASRL Conference:
#ARSL2025 is the conference for rural and small libraries. Our conference planners and presenters understand the constraints of shoestring budgets, small spaces, and limited staffing within small and rural libraries, as well as the unique opportunities for innovation and collaboration. Our conference is packed full of information you can take right back to your library—no scaling down required.
This year's conference theme is Libraries Rise!
This theme captures the resilience, innovation, and collaboration that define small and rural libraries. We recognize the challenges our communities face—tight budgets, small spaces, and limited staffing—but also the incredible creativity and determination that allow us to soar despite these obstacles.
About ASRL:
Each year the Association creates a unique conference for library staff and advocates from rural and small communities, designed with practicality and the understanding that professional development and networking are essential parts of your success. Topics include programming, fundraising, working with boards, keeping up with technology, and much more!
Dates: September 17th - September 20th
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico
