    Greetings!   The Library History Round Table has a number of opportunities for members to volunteer and carry on the good work of our organization.

    If you are interested in any of these openings, please contact me at steven.knowlton@princeton.edu

    Program Planning Committee

    We are looking for 1 member-at-large.   This committee organizes LHRT's activities at Annual Conference each year; in particular, scheduling our executive board meeting and choosing a speaker for the Holley Lecture.

    Communications Committee

    We are looking for 2 at-large members.  This committee is charged to:

    ·         Coordinate and oversee all publications issued by the LHRT

    ·         Coordinate and oversee all official social media communications of the LHRT

    ·         Serve as liaison with publishing units of ALA and encourage appropriate incorporation of historical issues in their publications

    Website review

    We are looking for any interested volunteers.

    You may have observed that information about LHRT is scattered around ALA's website.  We would like have a "site map" created and make sure that all links are up-to-date.
