Kids First 2020 Conference
Kids First 2020 was held April 6-7, 2020 and transitioned to an online-only conference out of an abundance of caution to lessen the chance of spreading the COVID-19 virus.
Background
The first Kids First was first held in 1997 and attendance has grown with each conference. The conference is partially funded through the Hazel Westgate Endowment and by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the State Library of Iowa.
