Should I choose a personal membership for me, or an organizational membership for my library?

Should I choose a personal membership for me, or an organizational membership for my library?

ALA offers two membership pathways for the library community. Personal memberships are designed to support you and your personal career growth, and include discounts on e-learning opportunities and our conferences as well as opportunities for leadership and volunteering. Organizational membership extends discounts to your library, including discounts on purchases from the ALA store as well as discounts on job postings. Both memberships provide up to date information on the library profession through a subscription to American Libraries and Library Worklife newsletter.
