LIBER Winter Event 2024 in Maribor, Slovenia

LIBER Winter Event 2024

What is the Winter Event?

The LIBER Winter Event is a one-and-a-half-day event that takes place every year in person at a LIBER Library host venue. It is designed with and for the core LIBER network; people working at LIBER Libraries across Europe, those taking part in our Working Groups and Steering Committees, and our partners from LIBER’s portfolio of International Projects and other collaborative initiatives.

The Winter Event serves as a stimulating forum for the presentation and discussion of work undertaken by LIBER Libraries across Europe. Do you want feedback on a new initiative? Advice on a project? Or are you looking to seek inspiration for the future? Through workshops and interactive sessions, the Winter Event gives LIBER members the space to set their own agenda and discuss the topics most important to their work.

The 2024 edition will take place at the University of Maribor Library, Slovenia. The event will be preceded by a national pre-event in collaboration with the Slovenian Library Association, scheduled to take place on November 25th, 2024.

Set your own agenda; join us at the Winter Event 2024!
