Beyond Hope Library Conference
The Beyond Hope Libray Conference is a biennial conference hosted by Prince George Public Library every odd year. It serves libraries throughout the Province of British Columbia and particularly those library workers residing outside BC's Lower Mainland, or "Beyond Hope"!
The most recent conference was held June 9-10, 2025 at the Prince George Civic Centre and the Bob Harkins Branch of Prince George Public Library. The conference was based around the theme "Defy Gravity: Taking Libraries to Wicked New Heights".
Explore the 2025 conference website for a full overview of the sessions, speakers, and events that were featured.
Selected sessions from the 2025 conference will also be offered to a wider audience via Zoom starting in January 2026.
