Greetings Colleagues, Loretta Parham, Interim Executive Director, HBCU Library Alliance, forwards the following message. LaTasha ________________________________ Good afternoon! I hope that the summer is providing the needed rest and relaxation that is deserved from your contributions to student learning over the past academic year. As well, I know that you are handling all of the "to-do's" as we anticipate the start of the Fall session. Along with all of the other demands on your time, I want to remind you of the ways in which your institution can pay the annual dues for membership in the HBCU Library Alliance. The HBCULA fiscal year began on July 1 (FY26). You should have received your invoice by now. Contact LaTasha if you’d like the invoice resent to you. As a reminder, there are 3 ways in which dues may be paid. 1. To pay by ACH, click this link: https://app01.us.bill.com/p/hbculibraryalliance · Email LaTasha at Ldenard@hbculibraries.org<mailto:Ldenard@hbculibraries.org> if you need assistance signing into your account. 2.
