Hello LRT membership,
Are you looking for a way to become more involved with the library community as a whole? Becoming a committee member for LRT is a perfect way to do this. Working with other committee members gives you insight into the possibilities of what can happen back at your home institution. Networking is one of the greatest assets that committee work can bring, knowing that you can call fellow members of your committee to get another perspective. Participating on a committee is another way to advocate for your attendance at ALA Annual & Mid-Winter.
We are looking for new committee members with terms beginning in July of 2018. Ready to start on a committee? Fill out the volunteer form found on this page (after committee listings) or send an email to info@alalearning.org. Thank you for making the choice to serve and better LRT!
