Join us for Fall Retreat, a two-day professional development retreat for ALL Montana Library Association members, non-members, and guests!

Fall Retreat is scheduled for October 4-5, 2026, and will look a little bit different this year!  We worked hard to make it feel like a more intimate version of our annual conference - we'll have Montana Librarians talking to us about everything from media literacy to Artificial Intelligence, with plenty of opportunities for fun along the way!

A preliminary schedule of events is below, and will be updated as needed
