Submissions to PL are invited and encouraged. If you’re interested in writing a feature article, a shorter opinion piece, reviewing books, or sending press releases, please read the editorial guidelines.
Members: Use Public Libraries to Get the Word Out About Your Group's Activities
Public Libraries is a great vehicle for communicating with PLA members. If your group is part of a PLA cluster, call your cluster editor to discuss items you would like to have considered for inclusion in Public Libraries. If you are a member of a division-wide committee, send a press release to Public Libraries' editor. Committee news items should be brief.
PLEASE NOTE: This schedule pertains only to articles that have already been accepted and are scheduled for publication. Manuscripts are considered on a rolling basis in the order in which they are received. If you are unsure of the status of your submitted manuscript, please contact Kathleen Hughes at khughes@ala.org.
