- **Event Description**: Join the South Carolina Library Association for the 2026 SCLA Annual Conference, The Next Chapter: Building Resilient Libraries, October 27–29 in Columbia, South Carolina.

South Carolina libraries are continually evolving to meet the unique needs of the communities they serve. While our collections and physical spaces are important, it is the work of librarians, library workers, customers, students, and supporters that ensures our libraries continue to reflect and respond to their communities.

This year’s conference brings South Carolina’s library community together to explore what it means to build resilient libraries. Attendees will have opportunities to learn from engaging speakers and educational sessions, exchange ideas and best practices, connect with colleagues from across the state, and strengthen the relationships that move our libraries forward.

Whether you work in a public, academic, school, or special library—or are preparing for a career in the field—we invite you to join us as we look toward the next chapter of South Carolina libraries.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Columbia!
