ARSL Quarterly Newsletter

We are working on the next issue of the ARSL newsletter and would love to feature your stories! If you would like to contribute, please consider submitting an article (250 - 750 words) plus a picture and/or headshot by August 6. What's new at your library? Did you plan something completely new and different for Summer Reading? Have you gotten a grant or award that you're excited about? Have you attended a webinar or conference program that really inspired you? Have you started a new service and everyone is asking how you did it? 

We have a new submission process -- Newspaper articles and "Small Victories" (very short exciting news such as promotions, new collections, or other celebrations) can be submitted via the online forms below.

ARSL Newsletter Naming Contest

The ARSL Newsletter needs a name and we need your help to name it! Names can be funny or serious, but they should all reflect our Association's mission: to build strong communities through advocacy, professional development, and elevating the impact of rural and small libraries.

Submission Deadline: August 16

To sweeten the deal we're adding a special prize for the winner: FREE conference registration for the 2021 or the 2022 ARSL Conference, in-person or virtual, winner's choice! This prize is transferrable to another ARSL member if the winner is unable to attend the 2021 or 2022 ARSL Conference.
