Message from the Founders

"Think Globally, Act Locally" -- that's the idea behind MLSG.  We think of MLSG as a portal for thinking globally and socializing globally while getting support and advice for acting locally in our capacities as future music librarians.  If you are already an MLA student member (and we encourage you to check that out if you haven't yet!), we hope that MLSG will supplement your MLA experience with student-oriented discussions and professional peer support.

Join us and give MLSG a shot!  We look forward to getting to know you!
