Donate to ALLA NowFrom the PresidentGreetings from your 2019-2020 Alabama Library Association President!I am thrilled that as President I can help guide the Alabama Library Association through this next year. For almost ten years, the Alabama Library Association has guided me on my professional journey and I am now delighted that I can show gratitude by serving other Alabamians in the library profession. Whether you serve within a public, academic, school, or special library, ALLA is designed to help and support you. As former Association president Clyde H. Cantrell said, “If we are ever to have good library service in the State as a whole, it is necessary that we coordinate our efforts and work in close cooperation one with another." This is my main goal for this association year, to unite all of us who provide library and information services to the Alabama citizenry. If you are interested in joining the Association or getting more involved with the organization, please peruse our website. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]! I look forward to seeing you all at the Annual Convention in Birmingham, April 14-17, 2020. Happy to serve all Alabama libraries! Jessica B.
