Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL)

The Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) is a nonprofit professional organization that organizes an annual conference specifically for rural and small public libraries, their directors, and staff. The conference covers library services and technology relevant to these institutions. ARSL's Conference Committee manages all aspects of the event, including speaker recruitment, program scheduling, and coordination of local arrangements and sponsorships. While highly relevant to most of the user's keywords like 'library conference,' 'public libraries,' 'library directors,' 'library technology,' and 'library services,' its focus on rural and small libraries means it is less directly aligned with 'ALA summit' or 'academic libraries.'
