Maryland Library Association (MLA) is the largest library worker organization in the state. Each year when funds are available, the Maryland State Library Agency provides Library Services and Technology Act funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to public libraries to send library workers to the important annual MLA Conference. The MLA Conference is also the Delaware Library Association Conference. Due to state size and locale, MLA and DLA work together to satisfy the training needs for library workers and advocates from both states.
Maryland State Library Board Chair, Kristen Pironis and Maryland Library Association Executive Director, Joshua Stone.
