<p class="MsoNormal">In case you missed it, registration is open for our Annual UPRLC Conference – Charting Our Course. This year’s conference will be a day and a half event in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan on September 13<sup>th</sup> and 14<sup>th</sup>. We
have an amazing line-up of presenters, vendors, workshops, and food. In fact, our conference starts off at 1pm on Wednesday with a catered lunch at the Bayliss Public Library from Wicked Sister. This is followed by our membership meeting, and finally a free
Library of Michigan Trustee Training with Clare Membiela, or a Team Building Workshop from Scott Garrison and MCLS. On Thursday, join us at 8:00am for registration and more food at the Lake Superior State University’s Cisler Center, featuring amazing views
of the International Bridge, St Marys River and Canada. We start off the day with the ever-fabulous Kristin Fontichiaro as our opening keynote speaker. Throughout the day you get to choose from 15 wonderful breakout sessions, a panel discussion with Michigan
library leaders, and more food with a very tasty selection from the LSSU Catering department. ( I heard there are brownies!) All in the picturesque Eastern Upper Peninsula of our beautiful state.<o:p></o:p></p>
