Sixty-six individuals representing fifty-one institutions convened at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Atlanta on Sunday and Monday, October 26,27 and at the Atlanta University Center Woodruff Library on Tuesday, October 28th. “Transforming Libraries for the 21st Century and Beyond: Sustaining the HBCU Library Alliance” was the meeting’s theme. The meeting also celebrated the 125th anniversary of the 1890 Land Grant Institutions. Eighteen individuals were first-time Membership Meeting attendees.
