ALA works through the @ your library campaign® to increase public awareness about the role and importance of libraries in our communities. Organizational Members can take advantage of many ALA programs and events to help expand staff skills and services. Aligning your organization with ALA provides your library with discounts on ALA resources like our professional publications, employment and management resources. Public, high school and community college libraries have an added benefit - free Oprah Book Club® selections.
