Why I Belong to CLA
"My involvement with CLA began with the mentor-protégé program while I was in library school. Having an experienced librarian to ask questions of and take an interest in my career was such a help to me.
CLA invited me to serve on the CLA Membership Committee while I was still in library school, giving me a chance to become professionally involved and strengthen my resume.
Now that I've graduated and am working in my first librarian position, I value CLA's networking, educational and leadership opportunities even more. CLA has helped me feel welcomed in my new profession, and has been one of the best career investments I've made."
