Welcome to the 2017 MLA Annual Conference! This year’s theme is Radical Librarianship - the power of libraries to provide access to the truth, strengthen our community voices, create opportunity for exploration and innovation, and assist our patrons to build a better future. Libraries have always been radical, but what does Radical Librarianship mean for us today? Join us at the 2017 MLA Annual Conference to help shape that conversation!

Session Evaluation
Oakdale Library has designed two "Escape the Library" Programs; one for grades 3-5 and one for teens or preteens. We will share our game designs, how we used them with groups of children, and how to tailor an escape the room program for your library. The version for grades 3-5 is designed to be a STEM program with science related clues. We plan to incorporate "Escape the Conference Room" clues into the program to give the participants an opportunity to experience clue solving in person.
