As the North Dakota Library Association Membership
Chair, I invite you to join us. NDLA's purpose is to improve library services in North Dakota by
developing the professional skills of our members.
Our membership is diverse and includes
librarians, library staff, trustees, and friends, affiliated with all
types and sizes of libraries.
Our quarterly online newsletter, The Good Stuff, our web pages,
and our e-mail lists keep members informed. The Executive
Board coordinates sections, roundtables, and committees, and plans
annual conference activities and programs. Our September 2008 Conference
will be held at the Mandan Best Western Seven Seas. We look forward to seeing you there!
We have several membership categories available:
- Individual membership is for anyone working in a North Dakota library. This membership is $35/year and entitles you to vote in our elections and at our annual conference, and to hold office. You'll also receive reduced registration rates at the conference.
- Trustee membership is for members of library boards of trustees. This membership is $20/year and entitles you to vote and to receive reduced registration rates at the conference.
- Associate membership is for persons not currently employed in a North Dakota library, such as retirees, friends, volunteers, vendors, and students. This membership is $20/year and is non-voting. You'll receive reduced registration rates at the conference.
- Institutional membership is for libraries that wish to provide additional support to NDLA. The dues rate for this membership is based on your library's annual budget and varies from $35 to $200/year. Depending on the level of membership, up to two staff members from your library may receive reduced registration rates at the conference.
Members may also belong to as many sections and roundtables as they wish, choosing from: Academic and Special Libraries Section; Health Science Information Section; Public Library Section; School Library and Youth Services Section; Government Documents Roundtable; New Members Roundtable; and Technical Services Roundtable.
Why should you be a member of NDLA? Membership is fun and rewarding, and it's a great way to get to
know people from other North Dakota libraries! Our success depends
on an active, enthusiastic, and sharing membership. It's through
your involvement that you and
everyone in the North Dakota Library Association gains.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Sincerely,
Kathy Thomas, NDLA Membership Chair
