The Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) Midwest Chapter is holding the annual chapter conference in person after three years. It will take place in Chicago on Saturday, June 24, 2023, on the theme of Embracing Growth: Adapting to Changes in Librarianship. We are taking advantage of ALA and CALA being held in Chicago this year.
