Jeff Davis, Principal at MSR Design and head of the firm’s Salt Lake City office, will join a multidisciplinary panel as a co-presenter at the 2026 Public Library Association (PLA) Conference in Minneapolis.
The session, “Leveraging Assets to Fund the Libraries of the Future,” will take place on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 10:15 AM.
As library funding for capital building projects becomes increasingly difficult, this session will challenge attendees to rethink traditional funding models and explore new ways to leverage assets, relationships, and political presence. The panel will provide tools and strategies that support innovative thinking and unlock new funding approaches. Attendees will hear from a library funding strategist, former Mayor and U.S. Congressman, Library Director/CEO, and Library Architect to discover how to leverage their assets to fund the libraries of the future.
We’re excited to welcome colleagues from across the country to Minneapolis for PLA 2026!
