<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b>About Timberline Lodge</b><br>
The Timberline Lodge conference facility offers a relaxed atmosphere for librarians, vendors, and publishers to discuss issues of concern. Plan to come and listen to one another in this small conference (enrollment is limited to 85) with its rustic resort setting
and the finest of people and conversations. Presenters are encouraged to engage the audience and there are plenty of opportunities for informal discussion outside the scheduled program. Plan to enjoy the good food, the beautiful mountain scenery, snow sports
and swimming, and favorite readings. Explore the <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><a href="http://www.timberlinelodge.com/">Timberline Lodge</a></span></strong> web site for a sense of the historic character of the lodge. We have reserved
the entire suite of rooms for the Institute. <o:p></o:p></p>
