Membership

TBLC and its member libraries work to encourage collaboration, resource sharing, staff development, and innovations to ensure that the people of central Florida receive excellent, up-to-date library services and have access to the world of information. Libraries in Citrus, DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lake, Manatee, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota and Saint Lucie counties can be members of TBLC.

Membership in the Consortium can be as a full member or an associate member. Full members are held to the TBLC Membership criteria and are governing members of the Consortium. Associate membership entitles a library or group of libraries to limited membership benefits with the opportunity for TBLC staff to assist the library in reaching full member status.

When a new library applies for membership in TBLC their membership application is presented to the TBLC Board of Directors for approval at one of their bi-monthly meetings. If approved, this applicant is given provisional membership pending the next TBLC Annual Meeting. At the TBLC Annual Meeting, held in November of each year, the full membership votes on approval of all provisional members. Once approved at the Annual Meeting a provisional member becomes a member of TBLC.

About Membership

 

TBLC is a member organization that works to encourage collaboration, resource sharing, staff development, and innovations to ensure that the people of central Florida receive excellent, up-to-date library services and have access to the world of information. Libraries in Citrus, DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lake, Manatee, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota and Saint Lucie counties can be members of TBLC. All member libraries are considered full members of the consortium, with few unique instances where member libraries may have their invoices or their Board participation managed by the Cooperative.

 

About Joining

We welcome new libraries to join TBLC. Membership application materials can be requested from jim@tblc.org A submitted application is presented to the TBLC Board of Directors for approval at the next Board meeting. If the Board approves to consider the library, TBLC will coordinate library visit and may request other documents of review to support their application. During the annual election season, the TBLC current membership votes on the approval of provisional members. The election results are presented each September by the President of the Board of Directors. Once approved by the membership and announced by the Board, the member is considered a member of TBLC and will be invoiced for the following fiscal year.
