The IALA has decided to promote the Library Science professionals to write books and the publication responsibility will be taken care by the Association. The accounts of IALA are being audited by the chartered accountants once the auditing is over the balance sheet will be published through different forms and the same will be presented to the general body meeting which is delayed for different reasons. Through the activities of the Association are slow, we have never lagged behind in protecting the interest of the professionals in all platforms. The Life membership is not yet introduced. We desire to fasten the membership only when the association stands on its firm footing. Hence, we feel we should strengthen the Association, fight for the rights of the professionals, show the visible work and then ask for the life membership of the Association. It is very well known to all the professionals that, many of the Associations are being run out of the money colleted out of its life membership. IALA wants to grow with its own earnings from its publication work. Your full support in buying the IALA publications for your Libraries, we can strengthen the Association.
