We’re pleased to announce that registration is open for the 13th Designing Libraries for the 21st Century Conference, to be held at University of Pittsburgh on October 18-20, 2026. CNI, along with the NC State University Libraries and Tom Hickerson, Conference Founder, are please to be the sponsors of this event, hosted by University of Pittsburgh. Sessions on a wide variety of topics will be offered, along with a lightning round, tours, and two preconferences, one on Building and Maintaining Your Project’s Momentum During Leadership Transitions and one on Post-Occupancy Evaluation: Did Our Library Space Actually Work?

There is a cap on the number of registrants we can accommodate and we anticipate that it will be reached. I urge you to register as soon as possible if you wish to attend. The link to the conference pages is below,

I hope to see you in Pittsburgh!
