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. |
