MALT
(Manitoba Association of Library Technicians) was established
in 1971 as a non-profit organization with the objectives
to promote and advance the role of library technicians
and respond to issues that relate to the entire library
community. These objectives are embodied in a constitution
and are carried out by an elected executive committee.
An annual general meeting is held in the spring. Membership
in MALT is open to any interested person. MALT produces
a quarterly newsletter, is involved in sponsoring various
programs, workshops, etc., and maintains a job bank
which advertises library positions. A representative
of MALT participates on the Library Education Advisory
Committee of Red River Community College.
MALT remains open to any concerns and questions from
its members, who have the opportunity to participate
in the association in varying degrees, from volunteering
to serving on the executive.
