There’s a lot to do in the Big Easy itself, New Orleans, without having to account for the fun and exciting events hosted by the American Library Association’s Library Learning Experience 2023.

The Library Learning Experience invites every aspiring writer and book lover to experience a great time in New Orleans this January 27–30, 2023 and know.

The ALA is not pulling back its punches, promising an arresting and attractive slate of programs that will give participants a memorable suite of sessions, such as workshops, seminars, and more, all designed to provide an “active learning experience.”

There is much to do in LibLearnX, not just inside the convention grounds but in New Orleans, the Big Easy itself! Enjoy the offerings of the American Library Association, but also experience the deep and rich culture of the Crescent City.

#LibLearnX23 – ALA Gives Back

Through collaboration with 826 New Orleans, an organization dedicated to cultivating and supporting young local writers, ALA is giving back to the community. Participants of the program will support remodeling efforts of 826 New Orleans’s writing center, including inventory, storefront coordination, furnishing, construction, and more.

If you are handy with your fingers and looking for concrete activities to make use of them, be a part of this unique opportunity and give back to the community.

Preregistration is required, and participants should be in New Orleans by January 26. Remember: the early bird catches the worm first!
