Recharge at the ALA Lounge

Drop by the ALA Lounge, where you can learn how membership will enhance your career, connect with colleagues, and get information to help improve library services in your community. Also learn about membership options that fit your budget and career path. ALA staff will be on hand, ready to answer questions about your membership, the conference, Libraries Transform™, ALA’s strategic directions, and the many things happening at ALA. With information and displays from ALA divisions, round tables, and offices, the ALA Lounge is your one-stop place to learn and get connected.

Don’t forget, nearby you can find the Networking Uncommons where a variety of items are available for you to use and recharge with. You can reserve spots to present to a small group (sign-ups will open soon), strum a tune on our ukuleles, feed your laptop at the charging stations, or even sew a quick stitch on the sewing machines.
