This year’s Spring Assembly will take place Thursday, April 16th, at the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka. Each NEKLS member library must send their designated system representative or a proxy to vote at the System Business Meeting – to approve the new System Plan and Budget and to elect officers to the NEKLS Board.

She will share her vision of what Kansas libraries in the not-so-distant future might look like.
