PLE Member Summit: Virtual
2025-03-24 15:30 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | via Zoom
It’s time we all had a chance to connect with each other! Join Prairielands Library Exchange (PLE) for a Strategic Planning & Networking Event that will give us a chance to connect, have conversations and enjoy a rare opportunity to meet people from throughout all 18 counties that PLE serves. All levels of staff from libraries and historical societies are invited to attend!

We need your valuable input! Prairielands Library Exchange is hosting a series of events to gather feedback on our services to libraries of all types – public, school, academic, and special, including historical societies – within our 18-county region. Your insights will help us shape the future of library support and ensure we’re meeting the evolving needs of our communities.

This will also be a fantastic time to connect with fellow library staff from across the region. Share your ideas, build relationships, and get to know other library and historical society professionals in southwestern Minnesota that you rarely have an opportunity to see. You asked for a chance to visit with colleagues and we’re excited to get together.
