ALIA West
ALIA West is your gateway to professional development and networking opportunities in Western Australia’s library community. Through initiatives like the F A Sharr Award and collaborative projects, we empower members to excel in their careers while promoting excellence in librarianship. Our social and networking program fosters connections across the region, facilitating the exchange of ideas and supporting grassroots recruitment efforts.
Join ALIAWest to access valuable resources, participate in industry events, and connect with like-minded professionals passionate about shaping the future of libraries.
Library Technicians will find additional resources and connections in the Western Australian Library Technicians group and those entering the profession are always encouraged to join the Students and New Graduates group.
