Register for the 2024 Enhancing Quality Staff (EQS) Symposium!

The 28th EQS Symposium will take place on May 30, 2024 at the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

The University of Minnesota Libraries’ Enhancing Quality Staff symposium provides a forum for library paraprofessional and support staff to learn about a range of timely professional topics, share ideas and experiences with peers, enhance skills with continuing education, and work toward personal well being.

It is a wonderful opportunity to learn and to connect with colleagues from across the library community.
