Reference & Adult Services Section

Who Are We: We are members of the North Carolina Library Association who have a special interest in reference and in working with adult library customers.  We serve in various types of libraries throughout the state of North Carolina (including both public and academic libraries).  The Section provides opportunities for continuing education and discussion dealing with reference and adult services.  The RASS also works to fulfill the objectives of the North Carolina Library Association as a whole.
