JOIN MSLA or RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP

Can I pay for my membership using a PO from my school?

• Yes! Please renew yourself online (answer all questions), and on the billing page choose "Invoice Me."
• You MUST then send that invoice to your school's business office.
• The invoice is automatically sent to you, the member, and only you.
• You may reference your PO number with your school when forwarding the invoice (MSLA does not need to know the details of your PO).
• Then your school will mail a check to the MSLA Office: PO Box 336, Wayland, MA 01778.

Why am I still getting auto-reminders saying my membership will lapse when I've already renewed?

• These auto-emails are generated by Wild Apricot when a member has renewed, but MSLA hasn't yet received your payment.
• If you are positive you renewed by answering the questions online, and got to the point where a new invoice was generated, you're all set. 
• MSLA will not remove you from the email list. 
• You will receive an email confirmation once we receive your payment.

My school renewed me! Why am I getting renewal reminder emails?

• Your school CANNOT renew you. Your membership is an individual membership, and belongs to you.
• If a school sends MSLA a PO we can't do anything with that information.
• Each member must renew their own record every year.

I just took over a position from someone else at my school who had a current membership. My school is saying they paid for our membership already. Can I use that person's membership?

• Memberships belong to the members, and not to the schools. 
• They are non-transferrable.
• You must join as a new member if you take over for someone else.

Is membership rolling?

• Yes! You may join any day of the year. 
• Your membership is valid one year from when you sign up.

I know I renewed. I have proof in my email. Why am I still getting emails saying my membership is lapsing?

• Chances are you renewed using a different email.
• Please check your Wild Apricot login information, and choose one email for MSLA communications!
• Contact us if this is the case and we can merge your records into one.

What are some member benefits?

• Members see BIG discounts on our annual conference! 
• You'll be connected to the only network of its kind in our state for school library professionals: the MSLA email distribution list.
  The email list will become your go-to for finding rare articles and materials, brainstorming curriculum ideas, sharing best practices about library setups, and more. 
• The MSLA Directory is available only to members.
