The ARSL Supporters Alliance is an opportunity for corporate and nonprofit organizations to support our Association in its mission to elevate the impact of libraries in the rural and small communities. By becoming a member of the Alliance, you can help ensure the strength and vitality of those communities for generations to come. Your annual contribution to the ARSL Supporters Alliance empowers rural and small libraries to do more with more—expanding their impact rather than stretching limited resources even thinner. Your support fuels key initiatives, including:

Accessible Professional Development

  • We provide low- or no-cost training to ensure all library workers—regardless of budget constraints—have the skills they need to serve their communities at the highest level.
Advocacy Tools for Rural Libraries
  • Our resources are specifically designed to help rural libraries build stronger relationships with local leaders and advocate effectively for their unique needs.
Targeted Grants & Scholarships
  • We offer hassle-free funding opportunities with minimal red tape, so libraries can focus on what truly matters—serving their patrons.

As a Supporters Alliance member, you’ll receive a thoughtfully curated benefits package to help build brand recognition and position you as a trusted ARSL partner. Our three support tiers offer increasing levels of year-round visibility and engagement opportunities with our 2,500+ members nationwide. Plus, you’ll gain exclusive networking and promotional opportunities at our annual conference—the premier event for rural and small libraries.

Join the ARSL Supporters Alliance today and invest in the future of rural libraries!
