THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP include: free-flowing information exchange with colleagues about collections and resources, professional contacts, and true camaraderie. Our meetings provide opportunities for networking and feature topics of professional interest and enjoyment, often with tours of wineries, wine libraries, and tasty lunches! Also, the WLA presents an opportunity to raise awareness of your own collection or issues, and a forum for asking questions or requesting information and incubating ideas for cooperative projects. Annual dues of $20 include a Membership Roster, the occasional newsletter and access to winelibrarians@yahoogroups.com [Please visit and register!]
