Looking for a Speaker? Announcing LU's Speaker's Bureau!

Libraries Unlimited's authors are some of the most well-known and highly respected professionals in their given fields. In addition to sharing their ideas in writing, many are also available for speaking engagements and workshops. Topics range from the light and humorous to the informational and inspirational. If you're planning a conference, in-service program, or presentation for students, librarians, teachers, library/educational administrators, or booklovers, consider taking advantage of our author workshop program.

Our authors can be reached by phone or email, or you may contact Debby LaBoon, Author Support and Workshops Manager (contact information is on each of the authors' speakers bureau sheets). Each author sets his or her own fee schedule and fees vary from author to author. In some cases, Libraries Unlimited will help with the author's expenses (contact Debby at debby.laboon@lu.com for further information).

If you are interested in purchasing the author's book(s), we encourage you to communicate your organization's policies to Debby and she will provide the necessary forms to ensure that the ordering process goes smoothly.

Thank you for your interest in our authors. We look forward to working with you.
