At the ALA Midwinter Meeting, the ALA Council passed a resolution urging all library directors to encourage and support United for Libraries memberships for each of their trustees. The resolution was supported by the Public Library Association (PLA), the Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA) and United for Libraries.
The resolution can be found at www.ala.org/united/membership. United for Libraries personal members receive a subscription to the bimonthly newsletter The Voice; discounted access to the Trustee Academy and Short Takes for Trustees; access to in-depth toolkits on effective board meetings, insurance, etc.; digital publications, including practical guides on such topics as hiring outside experts, board self evaluation, and insurance for libraries; grant and award eligibility; free webinars, and much more.
United for Libraries: The Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations, is a division of the American Library Association that supports those who govern, promote, advocate, and fundraise for libraries. United for Libraries brings together library Trustees, advocates, Friends, and Foundations into a partnership that creates a powerful force for libraries in the 21st century.
