The 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. We are now planning the 2010 National Conference, which we have volunteered to host. We'd love to have your help for this mighty undertaking! 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. |
