A&SL 2026 Annual Conference

What does it mean to be a librarian today?

As society, technology, and institutions transform, so too does the work of librarians and the role of libraries. Yet the mission and values that define our profession remain as relevant as ever.

At ASL2026, we invite you to reflect on the purpose of our work, the practices that define it, and the possibilities that lie ahead. Why do we do what we do? How are our core values enduring (or changing)? What shapes the daily practice of librarians today? How can we innovate and adapt while honouring the foundations of our profession?

Join us at Royal Irish Academy on March 24, 2026 for a day filled with insightful sessions, networking opportunities, and engaging discussions. Don't miss out on this chance to connect with fellow professionals in the field and gain valuable knowledge. Mark your calendars and get ready for an enriching experience at our conference!
