Hello Councilors,
The ALA Council will meet in a hybrid format during the Library Learning Experience (LLX) scheduled on Saturday-Sunday, January 20-21, 2024, from 3:00-5:00pm ET. Council agendas and documents can be found here on ALA Connect and on the ALA Council Website.
Registration & Voting Credentials
Councilors must register for LLX (digital or in-person) to receive their voting credentials. Eligible Councilors will be receiving an email from the ALA Governance Office with one set of voting credentials to use for all Council meetings. If you do not receive your voting credentials by Wednesday, January 17th, please email the ALA Governance Office. Please do not forward your voting credentials - it is unique to your voting record.
Digital Participants
After registering for LLX, please register for the Council webinar here: https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_w4L0yeMTT56rnH2GG3aMdw#/registration
Please log-on 10 minutes prior to the start of each Council meeting. To verbally speak, please insert the request in the Q&A. The host will change your role to panelist so that virtual participants may turn their camera on if they choose to do so to be seen by the assembly.
Printed Documents
To help promote ALA's Core Values of Sustainability, as well as reduce printing costs, only Council agendas will be printed onsite at LibLearnX. If needed, Councilors can print documents onsite in ALA's Internet Café located on the 3rd Floor, Registration Lobby.
What to Bring
Please bring your tablet, laptop, or handheld device to ensure a productive Council experience. Water, a jacket and/or a sweater, and power cords. If you have any special requirements, please contact the ALA Governance Office at governance@ala.org.
Note: Documents marked (TK) will be uploaded as they become available.
