ways to volunteer for your local, state, regional or national
organizations? Do you want to serve on a committee, act as a reviewer,
or run for an office, and you don’t know where or how to get started?
Well, you’ve taken your first step…by joining ALA! Whether you are new
to librarianship or a not so new librarian looking for ways to become
more involved and make an impact in the profession, this session is
for you! Come hear from librarians in a variety of libraries, at
different stages in their career discuss their involvement in
