Support CLA

Please consider making a donation to the CLA Legacy Fund and help support your State professional organization.  The Legacy Fund provides one scholarship for a first-time CLA Annual Conference attendee, scholarships for staff advancing their professional degrees and Professional Enhancement Grants (PEG) annually.  It may also be used to fund expenses key to the mission of the organization.  Each donation makes a difference.

 

Challenge Reporting

Has your library had any recent challenges to materials? Have there been other types of challenges, such as a patron privacy, library service issue or hate crime? ALA keeps track of these challenges. You can submit any challenges using this website. All personal and institutional information will be kept confidential.

 

Extended NELA Membership

CLA offers an “Extended Membership” with the New England Library Association (NELA). CLA members pay a discounted fee of only $20 per year ($15 for students and retirees) when joining or renewing your CLA membership. By joining both CLA and NELA, you will receive the full benefits that each of the organizations have to offer.
