We want you to serve on the NSLA Board!
As we begin a new year, we invite you to consider how you can support school librarians across our state. We're seeking strong candidates to serve on our board in the following roles: President-Elect, Treasurer, and Board Members at Large.
If you've ever thought about serving, now is the perfect time! Please reach out to me at nsla...@gmail.com if you'd like to be considered for a board position.
It’s easy to doubt yourself, but no one is too young or too inexperienced to make a difference. We welcome fresh ideas from new librarians as well as the wisdom of our seasoned veterans. Our board is full of dedicated individuals, and we ensure the work is both meaningful and enjoyable.
Join us and make an impact!
Joy Harvey, NSLA President
