HENRY B. PEIRCE, (Signed) Secretary of the Commonwealth. AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

Organized Oct. 6, 1876; Incorporated Dec. 10, 1879

This national body was organized in Philadelphia, October 6, 1876, as the immedi- ate result of a three days' library conference held in connection with the Centennial exhibition. Its purposes are the promotion of library interests, the interchange of experience and opinion, the obtaining of larger results from library labor and expenditure, and the advancement of the profession of librarianship. In addition to advancing library interests generally, the Association aims: 1. By organization and force of numbers to effect needed reforms and improve- ments, most of which could not be brought about by individual effort. 2. By co-operation, to lessen labor and expense of library administration. 3. By discussion and comparison, to utilize the combined experiments and experi- ence of the profession in perfecting plans and methods, and in solving difficulties. 4. By meetings and correspondence, to promote acquaintance and esprit de corps. Offices of the Association The executive and publishing offices of the Association are at 78 East Washington St., Chicago, on the fifth floor of the Chicago public library building. They are open daily from nine to five and members visiting Chicago may have mail sent here and are cordially invited to use the rooms. Any changes of address or position should be re- ported promptly to the executive office so that the membership list in the Handbook may be up-to-date and all publications may reach members promptly. Membership and Dues Any person or institution engaged in library work may become a member. The annual dues are Two dollars for individuals and Five dollars for institutions, payable in advance on January 1st. An entrance fee of One dollar must be paid by individuals upon joining or rejoining if membership has lapsed. Any individual member may become a life member exempt from dues on payment of Twenty-five dollars. All applications for membership and remittances for dues should be made to the American Library Association, 78 East Washington St., Chicago, by money orders or drafts on New York or Chicago. If local checks are sent, 10 cents exchange should be added. Benefits of Membership Individual members receive the Bulletin of the American Library Association pub- lished bi-monthly and forming an annual volume of over 400 pages, one number of which is the official Handbook and another the Proceedings of the annual meeting; they enjoy special travel and hotel rates, all conference privileges and hospitalities, and are entitled to vote for officers of the Association. Every library worker whose name is on the membership list and who pays the annual fee, helps thereby to more effective work by the Association, which in turn will accrue to the benefit of the individual member. Institutional (library) members, in addition to the Bulletin, will receive the A. L. A. Booklist (10 issues a year), an annotated buying list of current books suitable for large and small libraries. Every library member may send one delegate to all meetings of the Association, who shall be entitled to all privileges of an individual member.
