IASL Support-A-Member Partners

The mission of IASL is to provide an international forum for those people interested in promoting effective school library programs as viable instruments in the educational process. To assist IASL to deliver its vision, the IASL Partner School / Associations program provides an opportunity for schools or professional associations to establish an agreement with IASL to provide financial support for the IASL Support-A-Member program. The agreement for this gift program is for a two year period and is designed to make it possible for school librarians, teacher librarians, library assistants and others interested in school library services living in developing countries to belong to IASL. If your school or professional associations would like to know more about this gift program please contact the IASL Secretariat.
