Last year I was elected to a 3 year term as a NYLA Councilor at Large. NYLA Council meets in Albany several times a year. Here I am with Rachel Baum, our current NYLA president. We took a quick minute to sit for this photo before the Winter meeting.
NYLA speaks for the whole library community with our legislature and other elected officials. It is such a great experience to be a part of this organization and to work closely with librarians from ALL types of libraries with a common purpose. The biggest job of NYLA is advocacy for financial and legislative support for libraries across New York State. We’ve had some real successes these past few years, even during difficult budget times.
Everyone across the state who believes in the power and positive impact of a library on a community or an individual should belong to this pro-active organization.
