Library Camp

Announcing Library Camp 2026!

Being a new librarian can feel isolating. You’re deep in coursework, a fresh job, or trying to figure out what kind of professional you want to be—and it’s not always clear where to turn. That’s exactly why Library Camp exists.

Library Camp 2026 is here.

Whether you’re burned out on studying solo or just craving real connection, Library Camp is your invitation to pull up a chair. Join fellow library school students, recent grads, and working library professionals for honest conversations, shared laughs, and the kind of community that actually gets what you’re going through.

As a Library Camper, you’ll have access to:

• Regular community gatherings to explore library topics, swap ideas, and connect with professionals across a wide range of specialties

• A dedicated online space to find your people—peers who support your goals and understand the grind

• Opportunities to write, present, and share your ideas with a real audience

• Professional development programming right from the start—including an I’m a Librarian panel and a personal branding workshop during your first 3 weeks

• A six-month membership in The League of Awesome Librarians—a virtual professional network packed with exclusive content, inspiration, and librarians from around the world (because yes, it’s called the League of Awesome Librarians, and it lives up to the name)

Your six-month Library Camp membership covers everything above—from networking to job-hunting support—for just $15*. That’s the most affordable professional development you’ll find anywhere, and there’s no camp without campers.

The application deadline is June 17th! Apply now for the Summer 2026 cohort!

*Scholarships/Work-trade opportunities are available.
