Programs, Outreach & Promotion

LACONI’s Programs, Outreach, and Promotion section provides information, inspiration, and connection for library staff who deliver adult services, programs, outreach, library marketing, and communications.

LACONI POP brings you timely and relevant content through four professional development events each year.

In 2022, LACONI RASS (Reference & Adult Services Section) combined with POP to bring enhanced content for library staff serving teens and adults in many capacities, from innovative programs and services, community engagement, partnerships, communications, readers’ advisory, reference and more. If you work in these areas, we want to connect with and learn alongside you.
