VCLA Revised Membership Form

     Click below to download the revised membership form for the Virginia Church Library Association           (VCLA). Please note where the membership and dues are 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.

      ***We realize that VCLA is not at the top of your priority list. If you were to have a health                               issue we would like to know. Since our membership is getting older, we would like to                               know who to contact if we can’t get in touch with you just to make sure you are okay.

     Membership fees must be paid by March 15, 2025, in order to be included in the annual VCLA.               Membership Directory given out at the Spring Conference.
