Vermont Library Association College and Special Libraries Section

We welcome members working in college, university, and post-secondary trade school libraries, as well as the libraries of businesses, corporations, and cultural institutions. Our goal is to support excellent service to all our patrons by sharing our ideas and resources. We host a minimum of one workshop per year, and work to ensure the annual Vermont Library Conference includes sessions relevant to our concerns.
