Joining the Illawarra School Libraries Association (ISLA) is a way for you to better keep your finger on the pulse of what is happening in school libraries and be a part of a community.
Anyone interested in school libraries is welcome to join us. Your membership fees contribute to the ongoing operation of ISLA; this includes providing professional development and training opportunities locally, mentoring, advocacy, networking opportunities and collegial support.
Being a member of ISLA gives you the opportunity ‘give something back’ to the profession and our local community of school library and information specialists. You will be welcome to participate as much or as little as you like. We are a diverse and welcoming group of people, passionate about our work and seeking to support each other as we face and embrace the challenges and opportunities that our profession presents. Members are all welcomed to attend our regular meetings; you can attend as many or as few meetings as you choose. These are opportunities to share the wisdom of our collective knowledge, cross pollenate ideas in a trusted forum and share resources around events like Book Week. We also work together to coordinate a valuable annual local conference for school library and information workers that features the latest industry news, authors and professional development opportunities. Many of us find ISLA membership to be a great opportunity to get to know like-minded library lovers who share the passions of literature, literacy and all things library.
Contribute to our local school community by joining ISLA and gain an invaluable network of peers and experiences.
The membership fees will be $30 for the year. Membership of a Professional Association is tax deductible. *No GST is charged in the membership fee.
