Letter from the President

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the new and improved Maine Library Association website.

This website is designed with you in mind. In it you will find the events, resources, professional development opportunities, and information about MLA's various committees and special interest groups. Contact information for the Officers and Executive Board members is also included and we encourage you to contact us with any questions regarding the Maine Library Association.

The Maine Library Association offers something for everyone. If you are already a member, thank you for being part of this wonderful professional association. If you are not already a member, I invite you to join our growing community.

Special thanks to the MLA Communications Committee for their tremendous efforts in creating MLA's new website.

Sincerely,
Pamela Turner
