*2025 Call for Nominees:*
The Massachusetts Library System (MLS) is looking for individuals to step into the executive board’s director-at-large roles. Whether you’re from a public, academic, school, or special library, and regardless of your position within the library, we encourage you to consider applying. Directors-at-large play an advisory role, participating in meetings either in person or remotely, and they may also take on committee leadership roles. This initial three-year commitment, starting in January 2026, could potentially lead to board leadership positions, such as secretary or president.
