How can you get involved? Volunteer!

TLA Committees

With 27 standing committees, there is sure to be an area that interest you! Serving on a TLA committee is a great way to grow your professional network, gain leadership experience, and meet some really fun people. Committee charges are outlined in the TLA Standing Rules. The TLA President appoints all members of the committees.

TLA has 10 districts representing the geographic areas of the state; four divisions representing the four types of libraries; and 27 round tables organized around professional interests, reflecting the diverse interests of TLA members.

TLA Annual Conference

We welcome all folks, 18 years or older, to volunteer, whether you are new or returning, professional, paraprofessional, or other library enthusiast. ALL ARE WELCOME! Volunteers do not need to work in a library or be TLA members. In fact, if you aren’t a professional librarian, and volunteer for 4 or more hours, you receive an exhibits pass for that day!
