MLA is working hard to increase the value that you receive with your membership to MLA. Here are just a few current projects:
Online Master’s in Library Science through Drexel - special rates for MLA members: MLA members receive a discount on distance education courses they take through Drexel University. An academic member currently taking advantage of this benefit says “The generosity of the discount is definitely a factor in my decision to join MLA” She is saving 20% on each course thanks to MLA!
MLA subscribes to the Commonwealth News Service, a network of radio stations throughout Massachusetts that will help spread the word about libraries. MLA has been identifying stories for broadcast. The first one was on banned books week. Tune into one of these stations for others.
MLA Members can post to the MLA email discussion list by posting to: mla@masslib.org.
