Virtual Member Meetups
ALA Roundtables
ALA Roundtables are virtual, member-centered discussions providing a forum for members to share knowledge and best practices in our rapidly changing environment. They focus on topics of current impact, predetermined and driven by member need and supported by facilitator input. The sessions have an interactive component and allow for discussion and Q&A. Please send any questions or future topic suggestions to [email protected].
They are held on an occasional basis, as topics for discussion arise.
You can volunteer to facilitate an ALA Roundtable, too, and select a co-facilitator to assist you. More information is available here.
Upcoming ALA Roundtable
