Reach 1,200 Library and Information Science Professionals with Pennsylvania Library Association

Members include librarians, library staff, trustees and “Friends of the Library” from public, academic, school, and special libraries — as well as institutions themselves — across Pennsylvania. Typical members work as librarians, library administrators, support staff or library board members, and are employed by a wide range of library organizations (public libraries, colleges/universities, schools and special-purpose libraries). The Pennsylvania Library Association (PaLA) is a professional association representing librarians, library staff, trustees, and supporters across public, academic, school and special libraries in Pennsylvania. Founded in 1901, it serves roughly 1,200 members statewide. PaLA strengthens libraries through advocacy, continuing‑education, leadership development, and community building — making it a valuable, engaged, niche audience for advertisers or sponsors interested in reaching library professionals and stakeholders in Pennsylvania.
