  Yes! Please see our conference scholarship page for more details and note the February 23 & March 23 deadlines.
• What is meant by “Library Student Rate” on the conference registration forms?
  If you are currently enrolled in a MLS or MLIS library degree program then you can take advantage of the discounted rate reserved for those getting their librarian degree.
• Will Wednesday night on-campus accommodations be available? 
  Yes, registrants will have the opportunity to add Wednesday night on-campus lodging to their registration. This option is particularly helpful for those flying back West, as there are limited flight options available after 4 PM on Wednesday, June 10.
• Can I present a workshop at your conference?
  The call for presentations is already closed for 2026.
• Will the conference sessions be recorded so that we can go back to watch the ones we missed?
  We are unable to offer recordings of the 2026 sessions.
• Can I bring my spouse with me and stay on campus this year?
  We are unable to offer on-campus married accommodations this year. We encourage couples to explore the beautiful vacation rentals and nice hotels in the area. Some options are located in Winona Lake and offer beautiful waterfront views.
• Can my guest attend the conference sessions with me? 
  Your guest is invited to add any desired on-campus meals to their Guest Registration Form and eat those meals with you. They are welcome to join the morning devotions and attend your presentation if you are a workshop presenter. However, please note that all other conference sessions are integral parts of the program and have costs associated with them. If your guest wishes to participate in these sessions, it is recommended that they register as an attendee rather than a guest.
• Has the location been determined for the 2027 ACL Conference?
  Yes, it will be located in the eastern part of the US. Stay tuned for specific details to be announced soon.
• How can I coordinate a ride to Grace College from the airport?
  Yes, once you register for conference information will be emailed to you.
• I did not add the Wednesday extra night of lodging or Thursday breakfast when I completed my registration. How can I update my registration at this point?
  No problem! Contact April McKinion to make changes to your registration. Please have a credit card ready, as all conference balances are due by April 30.
• I’ve registered for the conference—when will I get access to Pheedlooop, the conference app?
  We plan to launch Pheedloop and provide access to all registered attendees no later two weeks prior to conference. Attendees will receive an email with login details once the app is live.

If you have additional questions, please email or call (937-766-2255) the ACL Conference Manager, April McKinion.
