Youth Libraries Group Conference 2022
September 16th – 18th, Sheffield
The Youth Libraries Group National Conference will return live in September 2022 and be held in Sheffield. Geographically situated around the middle of the UK and with great transport links, Sheffield is the ideal and convenient place for us to bring
together speakers, delegates and exhibitors for the live networking we all have missed over the past two years.
Taking place from 16th -18th September at The Quays Hotel, offering 4* accommodation in the historic Victoria Quays area of Sheffield. Located just 45 minutes’ drive from East Midlands Airport, 15 minutes from the M1 and only 2 minutes’ walk from the
city centre and railway station. With free parking and free access to Leisure club and pool for delegates.
Following COP26, the conference theme could not be more topical. Young people’s activism around the environment, climate change and more generally on societal change, gives us all hope for the future. We know this is a real growth area in publishing and
that there are some stunning books and passionate authors. We know how important it is that the next generation is well informed and able to distinguish between facts and fake news. Libraries find themselves in a challenging political climate too
and so we want you to hear from library advocates. We want to know how libraries are planning for a sustainable future and, as ever, we are all concerned with literacy and equality of opportunity for all tobe enabled to become readers for life. In
terms of reading the planet we should all be interested in world literature too. It is so important for empathy that readers are exposed to a wide range of cultures and lives and we are very proud of this exciting programme running alongside our iconic
publishers exhibition, awards and anniversary celebrations.
The conference will also include the gala dinner for the Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals making this an unmissable opportunity for all interested in libraries and children's literature.
We look forward to welcoming you!
