This is the official conference app for the 2025 Texas Library Association Annual Conference. The TLA 2025 theme, "Library Renaissance, Our Quest for Renewal," is very meaningful to me and members of the Conference Planning Committee. Like Renaissance creators, librarians are multifaceted individuals who excel in various disciplines, from education and research to community engagement and technology. Use the app to view the program, build your schedule, connect with other attendees and plan your time in the exhibit hall.
