This year there is a great opportunity to join a collection of dedicated library professionals in their quest to grow, serve, and enhance libraries across the state.
The Florida Library Association has launched a membership drive. The goal is to get the organization up to 1,000 members by January. As Immediate Past President of FLA, I invite you to join Florida’s premiere Assocation for library workers and professionals.
To reach that goal, FLA has reduced its membership rates to make them more affordable for all library workers and supporters.

I have been a proud member of FLA for over a decade. Membership allowed me to expand my professional horizons, make lasting friendships, and voice my advocacy for the great work our libraries do every day to connect communities, inspire thought, and enrich lives.
Here are benefits that Individual members receive.
- Participate on committees and the Executive Board – develop leadership skills
- News and Support on fast breaking issues
- Continuing Education Webinars and Trainings – professional development
- Networking Events – meet people from across Florida
- Awards presented at our FLA Annual Conference
- Eligibility to vote in association elections
- Discounts on registration to our Annual Conference
- Eligibility to form or join Member Groups on topics of interest
- Access to member communications and mailing lists
- Florida Libraries journal and eligibility to be featured in the publication
- Exclusive online resources, including our member directory
Never been a member before? Thinking of returning as a member? Or simply renewing your membership?
Your support will go a long way in ensuring that libraries of all types will continue their mission to serve the residents of Florida. In return you will be part of a proud organization that has supported Florida’s libraries for over 100 years.
I look forward to seeing you as an FLA Member!
