Joined American Library Association

Today I joined American Library Association online.  What an experience that was!!  It was quite lenghty.  First I had to go on the site and create an online profile within the site.  I had to fill out the membership application- which consisted of the regualr items like email and my preferred mailing address so I can get the mail, demographics, etc...  In my email preferences I choose to receive communications from ALA, chapters and affliates.  I wonder how that is going to fill my inbox. I might go back later and change some of that.  Time will tell.  One cool thing about membership is I am now connected to ALA connect!  I choose the membership type of regular member.  The price of a regular membership is $65.00.  You can learn more about the American Library Association from their website.  http://www.ala.org/aasl/    I found myself lost for about an hour on the site.  The links within the site are awesome too.  I found a site that I am going to show my students within ALA  http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/.  It was filled with goodies!  Thanks ALA!  You rock!!
