Transform the World Through SCLA!

SCLA is the state’s premier library association. We are a group of librarians, library staff members, and library supporters working together to advocate for and improve library services in South Carolina. If you’re visiting this site, you must care about libraries, and that means SCLA is for you!

New Members Round Table

The New Members Round Table provides a place for South Carolina Library Association's newer members to develop professionally, establish relationships with other library staff from across the state, and learn about opportunities for service within the association. Membership in the NMRT is available to SCLA members who have worked less than five years in South Carolina.

What is our NMRT about?

We can...

learn from each other
learn from more experienced librarians
find our own place to plug into SCLA
grow as professionals and as leaders within our libraries and communities, as well as in our state and national associations
