Get Involved!

Welcome!

WSS welcomes new members and their ideas. We offer many opportunities for you to get involved in committee work, program planning, and professional exchange. WSS meetings take place at each ALA Annual and Midwinter conference and interested people are welcome to attend.

Join the section!
