PIALA Year in Review

Abstract

The Pacific Island Association of Libraries Archives and Museums (PIALA) is a collective of other associations and individuals throughout the Pacific with the mission to address the needs of libraries, archives and museums within the region. All activities culminate at an annual PIALA conference in the latter part of the year, in which major endeavors, events and struggles are shared and addressed amongst entities and other members. Just as notable, is the sharing of culture and familial atmosphere amongst its members. Major events and developments in the past are reviewed with updates of the upcoming PIALA Conference in late November.
