Get Involved Building the Libraries of the Future

Getting more involved in ALA allows our members the unique opportunity to work actively on diversity issues and concerns while building personal leadership and becoming more familiar with the myriad of resources available throughout the Association. We strengthen libraries by building the diversity of our collections and services, by providing information access to all people, by recruiting and retaining a workforce that reflects the communities we serve, and by promoting a career that values excellence, learning from others and capturing the advantage of diverse perspectives.

Help ALA achieve this mission by exploring these opportunities...

• Our Committees - a great way for existing members to get more involved.
• Other Organizations - join groups where new members can contribute immediately.
• Professional Conferences - build your professional file and network with others.
• Research and Publishing - contribute to our body of knowledge.
• Continuing Education - develop personal leadership and expand our capacity to transform institutions.
• Community - make connections that will last you through your career.
