Join us for the 2026 Georgia Libraries Conference
The Georgia Library Association will be hosting the Georgia Libraries Conference (GLC) in-person on October 7 - 9, 2026, in Columbus, GA at the Columbus GA Convention & Trade Center. This conference is a place for our members and guests to showcase their professional and scholarly accomplishments with our profession at large.
