We need Team Captains!

Posted on April 5, 2016 by Azalea Coast Library Association

Bowl-A-Rama Flyer

Bowl-A-Rama III is fast approaching (4/15) and we need Team Captains!

See the attached flyer for more details.  Basically the same thing as last year, except Cardinal Lanes upped their rates.  So, now to make a ‘profit’ for charity, we need to charge $60 per lane/team.  Therefore, if you have a team of 4, you will have to pay $15 each; teams of 5 $12 each; and teams of 6 $10 each.  In other words, the more the merrier (and cheaper)!  New rate includes pizza and beverages, btw.

Thanks in advance and I hope to see you on 4/15!

Please contact Jacob Deininger at JDeininger@cfcc.edu if you are interested.

The ACLA New Page is One Year Old!

Posted on March 23, 2016 by Azalea Coast Library Association

Happy Birthday! One year ago, the Azalea Coast Library Association (ACLA) moved to a new content-management system, WordPress! This has made it much easier to find out what is going on in YOUR local/regional professional library-worker association. With the online calendar, blog posts, and other features (more coming soon!), we hope this has made it much easier to keep in touch, keep in the loop, and keep up with all the exciting developments in our particular fields of librarianship, or for nascent librarians or library-school students.
