KARNATAKA STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Dear Professionals, As already communicated earlier the General Body meeting along with elections of KALA will be held on 29th April 2008 (Tuesday) at 5.00 pm in Granthangana, City Central Library, RPC Layout. The details are attached below. General Body notices have been sent to all those members as per the addresses given in the list with KALA. In case of non-receipt of of the invitation please treat this LIS-FORUM message as the invitation and please attend the meeting without fail. We need to revive and make KALA more vibrant both in terms of activities and membership. A good number of youngsters are interested in joining the association and carry forward its objectives. Although there are good number of professional associations, they scope is limited to academic or public library etc. We need to make KALA fully functional as an apex association at the state level. The need of the hour is: 1. To elect a cohesive and active group to take over as the office bearers of the KALA. 2. We can think of having: - an experienced professional as the President - talented, enthusiastic and hard working professional as Secretary. - a treasure who will work in collaboration with Secretary, preferably working very close to Secretary's place 3. We should change the by-laws of the association to suit the present requirements. 4. We should take up the membership drive seriously 5. Apart from conducting monthly lectures we should organize some seminars, workshops, etc. I openly admit that we could not do much especially in the later part of our tenure due to many constraints. For many years SRELS has been kind enough to give its premises for KALA activities. The KALA does not have its own address. We should discuss and take appropriate steps in this direction. I invite all member to attend the meeting and specifically request the young professionals to take over the regime from us. Those interested are requested to send their self-nomination to the election officer as detailed in the mail attached below. With regards, (Dr. I.R.N. Goudar) President, KALA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: KALA GB MEETING & ELECTIONS Karnataka State Library Association Notice for General Body Meeting and Elections The General Body Meeting of Karnataka State Library Association is schedule to be held on 29-04-2008 (Tuesday) at 5.00 pm at City Central Library, Granthangana, RPC Layout, Hampinagar, (near RPC Layout bus terminus), Bangalore - 560040 ( Buses: Mejestic 87, Shivajinagar 63, 195, Many Buses comming to Attiguppe from all destinations) All the Members are requested to attend the meeting without fail.
