Library Tours

Two library tours will be offered during the Manitoba Libraries Conference.
The tours are within walking distance of the RBC Convention Centre, and participants must be able to walk on some uneven sidewalks and up stairs. There will be an elevator available at the stops as well.
Library tours will need to go through security gates at each stop.

There is a maximum of 25 registrants per library tour. There will be a waiting list in case of any cancellations.

Please meet promptly at the front door of the RBC Convention Centre at the York Street entrance.

About us

Organized by the Manitoba Library Association, the Manitoba Libraries Conference is an invitation for you to join us as we reconnect, revisit, and reinspire.

The Manitoba Libraries Conference connects library and information workers from across the province. We invite you to reconnect at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg on May 6-7 for two days of informative and engaging sessions, a large exhibitor hall, and opportunities to network and engage.

Land Acknowledgement

Acknowledgement of the territory on which one works and lives in an important Indigenous protocol and one that we respect.

The work of the Manitoba Library Association (MLA) is done on Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, and Treaty 5 territories. Manitoba is located on the homeland of the Red River Metis and northern Manitoba includes lands that are the ancestral lands of the Inuit.

The offices of the MLA are located on Treaty One territory, the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Ansininewuk, Dakota Oyate, and Dene and the homeland of the Red River Metis. Our water comes from Shoal Lake First Nation.

We are grateful for the lessons we are learning throughout our work but we acknowledge that we need to do better.

We also acknowledge that what was promised in these treaties remains unfulfilled.
