The Berks County Library Association started
in 1967 as
an informal gathering of academic and special librarians.
The original purpose of BCLA was to promote cooperation
among local libraries and to help each other serve our
respective clients. The association today serves as a
resource for communication and professional development
for librarians, and as a network for information sharing and
interlibrary loan cooperation among all types of libraries.
Membership includes representatives
from academic, public
and school libraries in addition to corporate, technical and
medical libraries. We also have individual
members who
are not associated with a specific library.
All members are
welcome to communicate through the BCLA listserv
and our
newsletter, The Shelflist. |
Fall 2009 meeting |
Meetings are held several times a year. Our programs are
varied with speakers, tours, seminars, workshops, luncheons and
field trips. In addition to formal programs, we also
offer individual professional development grants.
BCLA
invites you to work with us to promote library services in Berks
County. |
