New IFLA Membership category: Association Affiliate

IFLA is happy to share a new way for emerging and small library associations to join as IFLA members: Association Affiliate. This category is open for associations who have not been an IFLA member in the last three years, and who work with operating expenses of less than EUR 10,000. The current fee for this category is EUR 58 per year.

Association Affiliates will have free membership registration with the Management of Library Associations Section and—where applicable—with the appropriate Regional Activities Section (Africa, Asia & Oceania, or Latin America & the Caribbean). Association Affiliates have no voting rights. Association Affiliates will have all other member services and entitlements that are applicable to Affiliation membership. Membership as an Association Affiliate is possible for two consecutive years, after which the membership will be upgraded to the appropriate Band, with the corresponding costs and benefits.

We are encouraging interested Associations to get in touch with us. Please contact the Membership Officer at IFLA Headquarters if you have any further questions.
