We believe working together to advance Koha improves the quality of library service on a global scale. There are plenty of ways to get involved: join mailing lists, attend meetings, participate in special interest groups, cooperate on bugs and developments, and much more!
Education is a major focus for koha-US. We want to help you unlock Koha's full potential by providing access to a curated collection of resources including videos, written guides, presentations from past conferences, links out to community documentation, open software suggestions, and more.
koha-US is a member-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. While much of what we offer is free and open, membership gives you a voice in organizational matters including electing board members, choosing developments to fund, and the location of our annual conference.
Day one of our conference kicks off with our Keynote in Track 1 at 9:00 AM CDT (7:00 AM PDT, 8:00 AM MDT, 10:00 AM EDT)

We are pleased to announce that the Spring into Fitness Koha Community Challenge raised $1,790!
