ALA Boston Chapter Lending Library

In an effort to make educational and research materials available to all of our members, the ALA Boston Chapter has decided to create a lending library. The materials collected to date consists of the books purchased from the ALA National website and recordings of webinars sponsored by the Boston Chapter. You will find a listing below.

We will add to the lending library as materials become available. Some of us may have volumes on our shelves that we no longer use as reference, but that same information may be new to other members. With that in mind, we ask that you consider donating your reference books and other materials to the collection. Join us in this effort to share our resources and assist our fellow members.  The Lending Library collection will be held at the office of  Janice Hayes, Past President.  Please request your selection by emailing Janice Hayes.  Thank you.
