“As an active member of SCLA, I’ve found the association to be professionally rewarding, energizing, and a whole lot of fun!  I love the opportunities to share ideas with others and to grow in ways that are different from what I do every day in my library.  SCLA provides me with a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from, which is priceless for me as a new librarian.  Through my committee involvement, I’ve learned how much I enjoy serving this organization and working alongside such smart and creative people. When we draw upon one another’s strengths, we build stronger libraries… believe it!”
