We are looking for “a few good members” to volunteer for ASCLA’s Awards Committee and round out our committee roster for 2013-14. Participation is virtual—no conference attendance required!

Read more about what this volunteer position entails: http://ascla.ala.org/blog/2013/08/volunteer-opportunity-ascla-awards-committee/

New members are welcome and encouraged to participate…and “new” could even mean that you join today. :o)

ASCLA is a small and mighty division of ALA with a focus on innovation, accessibility and entrepreneurship. Our key constituencies are librarians serving people with disabilities; librarians serving incarcerated adults and youth; state library agencies; library consultants and independent librarians; and resource-sharing, network and consortia librarians, among many others. Our size means more opportunities for you to get involved in meaningful volunteer activities!

Learn more about ASCLA and membership in the division: http://www.ala.org/ascla/asclaourassoc/joinascla/joinascla
