2017 FLA Annual Conference Program
“Our libraries are not a luxury, but a necessity essential to
ensuring that Floridians have access to resources and the
librarians and paraprofessionals who can help them locate,
access, and understand the information they need.”
~ Elana Karshmer, FLA President, 2016
