Join us for the 2026 Southern Utah Media Conference!
School library environments, student reading habits, and technological landscapes look vastly different depending on the generation you are trying to reach. This year, our annual conference brings together rural school library paraprofessionals from across southern Utah to explore how we can connect these shifting worlds.
Under the theme “Bound Together: Libraries Navigating Generational Shifts,” we will gather in Cedar City on October 21, 2026. We are thrilled to welcome our keynote speaker, Dr. Eric Kirby from Southern Utah University, who will dive into how generational attitudes and behaviors have evolved over the years. From practical breakout sessions on engaging digital-native readers to managing spaces on a rural budget, this day is designed entirely to equip and inspire you. Come connect, collaborate, and discover new tools to bridge the generational gap in your library!
