54th CBHL Annual Meeting 2022

54th Annual Meeting
The Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries
May 24-28, 2022

Denver Botanic Gardens welcomes The Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries to Denver, the Mile-High City!  

Our 2022 meeting's theme, Elevate Change, highlights both Denver Botanic Gardens' location in a high-desert environment at 5,280 feet and the many changes that COVID-19 has brought to our profession of librarianship.

In Denver, we will share our best practices in remote work, collections care and management, trends in technology and user engagement, and fresh strategies for adapting and flourishing in an ever-changing digital landscape.

Several special speakers will bring the theme of "Elevate Change" to life.To learn more, go to the Guest Speakers tab.
