Join Us
Welcome! We are glad you are interested in joining our organization. OASL is now a division of OLA. When you renew or join OASL, you will be joining as an OLA member. This means that you will be directed to the OLA membership form.
Be sure to choose Oregon Association of School Libraries from the list of OLA units and affiliates on the form. There is no additional cost, and the affiliation is what subscribes you to the OASL listserv.
