Join LACONI
LACONI membership is open to all libraries. Membership dues are used to pay for informative programs that each section produces. Any member library is welcome to attend the programs, sending as many staff and board members as they wish. There is often a lunch following any section program which allows for the opportunity to meet and network with other librarians from other library systems.
