Submit your paper proposal for Public libraries in the digital world, the 15th Croatian Conference on Public Libraries, scheduled to take place from 8 to 11 October 2025 at the Vinkovci City Library.

Paper submission deadline: 22 April 2025
Proposals for 10-15-minute oral presentations, poster presentations, Pecha Kucha sessions, public library-focused film presentations, roundtables, panel discussions and workshops may be submitted online by 22 April 2025 (submission form is available only in Croatian).
Apart from the Vinkovci City Library, which will host the Conference, the co-organisers of the Conference are the Croatian Library Association and the Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem Library Association, with the National and University Library in Ljubljana (Narodna in univerzitetna knjižnica Ljubljana, NUK), Slovenian Library Association (Zveza bibliotekarskih društev Slovenije, ZBDS) and Slovenian Public Libraries Association (Združenje splošnih knjižnic) acting as partners.
