The Minnesota Library Association Annual Conference is coming up on October 9-10, 2025. The Annual Conference Silent Auction is one of the main fund raising activities of the Minnesota Library Foundation.

The MLA Conference Silent Auction has been part of the annual conference for many years, and checking out what is on offer each day has become a highlight for many conference attendees. All money raised from the auction allow MLF to fund programs for leadership and professional development across the Minnesota Library Community.
