The State Library is pleased to announce sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 Pop YS Con, taking place April 16-17, 2026 in a virtual format. 

Pop YS Con is a biennial conference for Iowa youth librarians. Typically held in person every other year, the next 2026 conference will take place entirely online. This will allow the conference to reset to an odd-year schedule, no longer occurring during the same month as the Public Library Association (PLA) Conference. 

The State Library plans to return the conference to an in person format in 2027 to offer attendees and exhibitors a chance to connect and network with the same vibrant energy as past conferences.

Sponsors for the 2026 conference will receive an early opportunity to register as an exhibitor for the 2027 in-person conference!
