2008 Program
Timberline Institute Information
The Timberline Lodge conference facility offers a relaxed atmosphere for librarians, vendors and publishers to discuss issues of concern. Plan to come and listen to one another in this small conference (enrollment is limited to 85) with its rustic resort setting and the finest of people and minds. Presenters are encouraged to engage the audience and there will be plenty of opportunities for informal discussion outside the scheduled program. Plan to enjoy the good food, the beautiful mountain scenery, snow sports and swimming, evening movies, and favorite readings. Explore the Timberline Lodge web site for a sense of the historic character of the lodge. We have reserved the entire suite of rooms for the Institute.
