Georgia Library Day

Georgia Library Day is held each year during the legislative session. The Georgia Library Association, in cooperation with the Georgia Library Media Association and the Georgia Association for Instructional Technology, holds this event for librarians and other library advocates to visit legislators face to face to urge them to support Georgia libraries.

2010 Georgia Library Day was held on March 10.

GLA Midwinter Planning Day

Every member of GLA is invited and encouraged to attend this kickoff to map out the activities of GLA for the year, as well as beginning the work of divisions, committees and interest groups in planning for COMO programs. If you've always meant to get involved in your state professional organization, this is your opportunity to make a difference!

Georgia Libraries Photo Contest

Annual event to document the impact of Georgia Libraries. How do libraries make a difference in people's lives? What would Georgia be like if there were no libraries? What valuable services do libraries provide that can easily go unrecognized and unappreciated? Those are just a few possibilities for people to think about when they unpack their camera bags at their library.
