   Are you thinking about joining Maryland Library Association?  Already a member and wondering how to get involved? Our New Members Interest Group (NMIG) is offering a series of “Getting to Know MLA” web meetups over the next several months to bring the association to you, wherever you are.  What is a division and what do they do?  How does one get involved in an interest group?  What is the role of a panel?  How does someone join both MLA and ALA at the joint student rate?  These are just a few of the questions we'll cover!   The Maryland Library Association's New Members Interest Group will be offering a Getting to Know MLA throughout the next year. All are welcome, regardless of whether you are a MLA member or not!  For more information about the the next online meetup, contact the MLA office.
