TSS Vice-Chair/Chair Elect Candidates Needed!
We are in urgent need of a candidate for Vice-Chair/Chair Elect. (Our sole volunteer to date has had to unfortunately withdraw his name from consideration.)
Would you please consider serving your section in this way? While it is a three-year term, the amount of work is not overwhelming. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about the position.
Many thanks!

Annual Conference News
From the MINNESOTA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION...
The Annual Conference, November 19-21, in Bloomington, MN, is just around the corner. You can find a draft schedule of programs on the MLA website, as well as the Annual Conference registration form (PDF). The online form will be active in the next few weeks. Look for an announcement soon.
If you haven't renewed your membership for 2008, take the time now to do so. The Individual Membership Application can be found on the homepage.
And a special invitation to potential MLA Members you may know...
New Members only! Join MLA by paying your 2009 membership fees and MLA will welcome you to the 2008 Annual Conference at member registration rates. To take advantage of this limited, one-time offer, new members must pay for both 2009 membership and 2008 conference registration fees. This offer is extended by the MLA Board because of the late date of this year's annual conference, to promote attendance following the PLA conference that was held in Minneapolis this year, and to encourage membership in the association.
