2008-12-12: FOLUSA + ALA = ALTAFF

As of February 1, 2009, Friends of Libraries USA, a national library-friendly and advocacy group will join the American Library Association’s Trustee division. The new, combined and improved group will be called the Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends and Foundations (ALTAFF).

Among other benefits, the new merge immediately raises FOLUSA’s membership to nearly 5 thousand, and brings with it the hope of increased awareness and funding for the groups that ALTAFF will serve.
