Memory Book


At the April 11 VALL meeting hosted by South University, VALL members had the opportunity to write in the Five Star VALL Memories Book passed around by Sally Wambold. If you were not at the meeting, you can still share your  VALL memories by posting in the comments section of this blog entry or emailing them directly to Sally Wambold (swambold@richmond.edu) The 30th Anniversary Committee will be compiling these “memories” as a permanent record of the association’s anniversary.

The entries so far have been thoughtful and thought-provoking. Thank you to those who have shared their memories. The committee looks forward to receiving more memories from members to create an anecdotal history of this association whose members have served on multiple library association boards including AALL  and who have authored many publications. 

Thirty years is a milestone worth celebrating and we look forward to receiving lots of memories from you!

I remember my first VALL meeting in 1992. It was in Richmond and it was one of those two-day meetings that VALL used to have. I learned a lot about the new profession I was in, and I was struck by how helpful and friendly VALL members were, and how welcoming. Many things have changed in the profession since then, but the essence of VALL hasn't changed, and I hope that the future will see it holding strong.
