The objective of the FLA is to bring together individuals within the Calgary library community to share and promote the concerns of the library and information professions.
Membership is open to people interested in the information professions. The cost is $30 per year. To join, print the Membership Application which can be found on our Membership page. Contact the membership director at membership@fla.org for more information.
Events and activities, such as lectures, seminars, tours, and social events, are organized for members and non-members from September through June, beginning with the Annual General Meeting held in the fall. The Events page also publicizes events of interest to the library community in the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia.
