43rd Annual Conference |
Conference is Coming!Now that the 2009 CSLA Conference has successfully come to a close, we're up next! We are excited to be hosting the 43rd Annual Conference of the Church and Synagogue Library Association, July 25-27, 2010 at the JW Marriott Hotel across from the Galleria. To see slide shows of the exciting activities we have planned, as well as several hot spots you won't want to miss in Houston, visit the conference page on our national CSLA Web site. Our HistoryThe Houston Area Chapter (HAC) of the Church & Synagogue Library Association (CSLA) was organized on February 9, 1985 at St. Matthew's United Methodist Church. Our purpose was to band together church and synagogue librarians to share and promote librarianship within a 100-mile radius of Houston. Ruth Smith and Ruth Sawyer of the national organization presented the first program to 51 local librarians. By June of 1985, the constitution and bylaws of the new chapter were approved, and 64 librarians were recognized as charter members. In July of 1993, our chapter hosted the 26th National Conference at the University of Houston. The "CSLA Round-Up, Texas Style" was very successful. Our chapter has continued to be a source of inspiration to local librarians and to play a leading role in CSLA endeavors. We have several national award-winning librarians and libraries among our ranks. Check out our new page featuring libraries from our chapter! We usually meet three times a year, and we encourage you to visit us at one of our meetings or contact us if you are interested in starting or growing a library in your congregation! If you do not live in the greater Houston area, we can help you find the CSLA chapter nearest to you. CSLA has 29 chapters throughout the United States. |
