Dear Joint Student Membership Program, What Are Four Important Quick Facts I Need to Know?

The four important quick facts I need to know about the joint membership program are:

• PLEASE NOTE: Joint ¾«¶«´«Ã½membership cannot be added to a current Chapter membership. ¾«¶«´«Ã½encourages students who joined their Chapter before knowing about the joint student membership program to join ¾«¶«´«Ã½as a joint ALA-Chapter member when their Chapter membership comes up for renewal.
• After joining ALA, current ¾«¶«´«Ã½students—within 90 days of joining ALA—may convert their memberships to joint student memberships. Contact ¾«¶«´«Ã½Members and Customer Service at 800-545-2433.
• You may join any one of the Chapters and ¾«¶«´«Ã½through the joint student membership program. You may join the chapter of your choice, most students choose the chapter where their school is located or their home state.
