    When you pay your ALA dues and make contributions to various ALA entities this month, please remember to include the Freedom to Read Foundation.  It is a separate 501.c.3 entity from ALA.  You can make a separate contribution (FTRF.org) or bundle the gift with your other ALA payments.

    Now, more than ever, support the Freedom to Read!!!

    Thanks,

    Nann

    RMRT liaison to FTRF

    A good reminder!?? Thanks Nann.

    Because I'm a continuing member and the renewal software can't deal with
    that, I've been in the habit of paying my ALA dues over the phone.?? If
    that's your situation, you may find it easiest to just go to FTRF.org
    and contribute online there.?? The person who handled my ALA transaction
    was completely flummoxed when I inquired about FTRF.
