mailed to.
Membership
fees are **$25 per individual annual membership fee (fee increased to $25 on
January 1, 2025) or **$100 per church library staff annual membership
fee. Memberships are valid from Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 each calendar year. For each new member joining after Sept. 1 of the
current calendar year, those memberships will be valid until the following Dec. 31. Remittance is encouraged early each
calendar year to support the work of the organization to promote church library ministry and to train workers in this ministry.
**Annual dues are for an individual or individuals living at the same mailing address, i.e., spouses, siblings, parents & children, etc., and working in the same church library.
One newsletter will be sent per address.
**Maximum required dues per church are $100 each year. Each library staff member must complete a membership form which must be included with the payment of dues. If individual personal checks (rather than a church check) are sent, they must be in the same envelope.
