Division Objective:
The objective of the New Members Round Table is to recruit new members into the Georgia Library Association and to help the individual members to orient themselves to their new profession; to provide new members of the profession with a common meeting ground and with an opportunity for a period of professional growth; to assist the Georgia Library Association in promoting a greater feeling of involvement and responsibility for the development of library service and librarianship; and to act as a sounding board for ideas of the New Members Round Table membership and identify potential leaders within the Georgia Library Association.
