This is a special invitation to you to join with us and hundreds of other librarians and library employees in Arkansas in becoming a member of the Arkansas Library Association (ArLA). ArLA has been promoting library service and the profession of librarianship in the state of Arkansas since 1911. ArLA serves all libraries and is a chapter of the American Library Association and the Southeastern Library Association. It is represented in each association by a councilor who is elected by the ArLA members. ArLA provides active representation for you and your library to the Arkansas State Legislature and U.S. Congress and provides support for intellectual
freedom and professional rights.
