Welcome to PLAspace!
PLAspace is a tool that connects members of the Public Library Association (PLA) with one another to exchange ideas, share knowledge, make professional connections, and collaborate virtually.
Members create and join PLAspace communities of practice based on their interest in learning about, discussing, and sharing insights about a subject related to public libraries and public librarianship.

On Friday December 5 we moved the PLAspace site to a new Virtual Private Server.
This should provide greater performance and a solid foundation for some design and functionality improvements in the coming months. Please contact us if you are encountering any unexpected difficulties.

What do Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men and Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn have in common? If you said that both are regular targets of attempted censorship, then you are probably a librarian. ALA's Banned Books Week continues through Saturday. The fact that every day around the world some person or group of people attempt to ban books, to deny knowledge, to force conformity of thought; well, "It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race."

I am heading to Danvers, Massachusetts tomorrow to observe a session of Turning the Page: Building Your Library. That's the two-day advocacy education event developed by the Public Library Association with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This trip is a chance for me to observe the program and meet the facilitators. I've heard that Turning the Page is a great program and I look forward to seeing it in action.
