Connect and Explore Library Tours
Connect with fellow library folk and explore unique library and archive spaces together. Each tour is a special opportunity for a behind-the-scenes peak at fascinating and unusual spaces and collections often hidden from the public eye. Take advantage of this complimentary benefit as an OLA member to broaden your network, share ideas and learn more!
Notes:
- Tours are complimentary to OLA members. Non-Members can register for $15.
- Capacity is limited for most tours, and they fill up fast, but you can join the waitlist as spots often open up closer to the event.
