Trustees of NEKLS Accredited Libraries are required to join the Kansas Library Association (KLA) and the Kansas Library Trustee Association (KLTA). A new paper KLA Membership Form is now available, making it easier than ever for public library directors to enroll their library trustees.
KLA recently added a new “Trustees Only” membership category, with an annual fee of $25. NEKLS will reimburse $10 of this fee for each trustee who joins, making membership affordable for everyone.
To take advantage of this opportunity, do the following:
- Print out and complete a KLA Membership Form for each trustee, with the “Trustees only…$25″ category marked. Each trustee needs his or her own email address.
- Submit the forms with payment covering all of the memberships to the Kansas Library Association. You can pay by credit card or check (made out to KLA).
- Send the list of trustees who have joined KLT/KLTA to Carolyn Little by e-mail (clittle@nekls.org), mail, courier, or fax (785-838-3989) and NEKLS will send reimbursement to your library.
NOTE: KLA welcomes institutional memberships, but no trustee or individual memberships are eligible for the NEKLS subsidy as part of an institutional membership.
