The Madras Library Association’s Newsletter MAY--DEC 2016

Greetings!

Dear members,

Thank all the members of MALA for selecting me as the President of this prestigious Library As-

sociation and I also thank on behalf of the other members who have been selected along with me as office

bearers. In this juncture I wish to state that I will try my level best to bring MALA to the fore front with

very ambitious projects. For achieving this we need to believe three aspects. Unity, Progress and accom-

plishment. Dear members I expect all of you will share my aspirations and escalate MALA to new

heights. The new committee meets regularly every month and discusses about the development and activi-

ties to be taken in future. In this connection the committee has decided to conduct Seminars, Workshops

and Conferences etc. every month. Our future plans involve several programmers and among that one

programmer is creating endowments for honouring Best Women Librarian, Best Academic Librarian,

Best Special/Technical Librarian and Best Differently abled Librarian with awards. In this connection,

the committee has decided to create an Endowment Fund of a minimum amount of Rs.25,000/-. The inter-

est from the amount will be utilized for honouring the professionals with awards. For this a proforma will

be prepared and professionals will fill up this proforma and send it a committee which will be constituted

for selecting the competent person for the award.

I request all the members to help us to create an “Endowment” which will be a milestone in the

history of MALA. I look forward for your support and co-operation so that MALA can achieve more in

future. MALA must march forward with team spirit and social responsibility for library profession.

Thank you and Best wishes.
