The Paralibrarian Board
The Paralibrarian Board are members of the section who are elected or appointed to govern the Paralibrarian section of the New Hampshire Library Association and represent the interests of those members within the Paralibrarian section. Our role is to keep the section running smoothly and meet the goals of the section to provide and recognize educational opportunities for professional non-MLS library staff. We're beholden to the bylaws of the section which you can download below.
