ABOUT ALA

ALA sponsors a state literacy conference, currently hosted during the summer of each year.  Nationally recognized speakers and small group session leaders provide excellent professional development for all educators. 

In addition, ALA also hosts a state writing competition and book clubs for its members and hosts leadership institutes for the local councils.

ALA, also, assists with the Arkansas Book Awards and hosts the luncheon scheduled during the state conference.
