Native Libraries Round Table Established
On January 28, 2004, the CLA Executive Committee voted unanimously to establish a new round table to serve the library related needs of Native Americans. Founding members of the round table include individuals interested in the development of programs to improve Native American library, cultural and information services in school, public, and research libraries on and off reservations in California. The round table will provide a forum for networking, advocacy and support, and will work in an advisory capacity for the State Library on Native libraries issues. The group plans to meet annually at the CLA conference, and to have at least one meeting in both the north and the south. For information about the new round table, contact co-chairs Luisa Armijo, armijo.family@verizon.net or O'Jay Vanegas, ovanegas@accmuseum.org. CLA members will be able to join the round table through the membership process. If you have already renewed for 2004, contact the CLA office to add your name to the round table list.
