Parking

Visitor Parking provides information about visitor parking options, including locations and fees for parking garages and lots. Free parking is available on the street, but can be difficult to find during the day.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided during the program.  Attendees will be responsible for dinner on their own.

A list of opportunities for support for attendance at IFLA is available on their Conference Participation Grants webpage.  Because attendance fees are already underwritten, no additional support for this pre-conference is available.
