Thank you for your interest in joining the Hudson Valley Library Association (HVLA)! Registration is now open for the 2026-2027 school year.
To join or renew, please take the following steps in the fall:
- Fill out the member registration form. Each individual needs to fill out the form, and the corresponding membership benefits are only for that person. We invite organizations with more than one librarian or library support person to register multiple colleagues.
- An invoice will be emailed to you by the Membership Coordinator with payment instructions by personal check or institutional check. Please note our new mailing address for any institutional checks: Hudson Valley Library Association; 1632 1st Avenue; Box 223; New York NY 10028.
- Alternatively, pay via Zelle to email address hvla.librarians@gmail.com
Membership is per individual librarian; the corresponding benefits are for that individual. If a school or organization has more than one librarian, HVLA invites each librarian or library support person to become a member.
Annual membership goes from October 1 through September 30.
If a member registers or renews partway through a school year, those dues are for the current school year, and membership renewal is due at the beginning of the next school year.

- Library Students (please mail a copy of Student ID with check): $40.00
