The Support Staff Division of the Oregon Library Association (OLA) provides a framework for information sharing, continuing education, and moral support for all library support staff.
Specifically, the aims are to provide a forum to encourage new ideas, discuss concerns and solve problems; promote awareness of library issues; inspire and promote professional growth through networking, conferences, workshops, and mentoring; exchange ideas on processes, systems, and policies; provide a medium for the exploration of new ideas and technologies; foster cooperation among all Oregon libraries in all the various public and technical areas throughout the library; and to increase awareness in the library community of the evolving roles played by support staff.
Congratulations to Margaret Harmon-Meyers, winner of the OLA Distinguished Service Award!
