What a week! 💚🧡
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make WLLI’s time at the 2026 WLA Conference so much fun!
We loved seeing WLLI graduates reconnect and so many of you stop by the booth to say hello, pick up your graduate buttons, and show off your WLLI pride with badge ribbons.
And we can’t forget the WLLI Basket Raffle! Thank you to the libraries, staff, and friends who donated baskets and goodies, and to everyone who purchased tickets and joined in the fun. Your support means so much!
One of the best parts of WLA is getting to see our WLLI family together again. Whether you graduated years ago or recently joined the WLLI community, we’re so glad you’re part of it.
Thanks for another wonderful WLA Conference, Wyoming library friends! 📚💚

2.Take a group picture at WLA.
3. Post it to Facebook or Instagram and tag .

📚 WLLI members, show your WLLI pride at WLA! 💛
Don’t forget to stop by the table across from registration and pick up your WLLI badge ribbon to add to your conference badge. Because apparently our name badges needed accessories, and frankly, they do. 😉
🎓 Be sure to stop by the WLLI booth and grab your Graduate button, too!
Wear them proudly throughout the conference and help us show just how many WLLI leaders are here at WLA this week!
💚 Building stronger libraries. Developing leaders. Strengthening communities.
