1. Which membership fits you?

Not sure? Pick the closest; ALA staff adjust the type if needed and refund any difference.

2. About you

This is how you sign in: no password, we email you a code. Use an address you will keep.

3. Pay

Your membership renews automatically each year.

Paying by card turns on automatic renewal. ALA charges the card you pay with your dues once a year, about seven weeks before your membership ends, after emailing you the amount and the date. Turn it off any time on your membership page. A membership paid by invoice or check does not renew automatically.

Cards are handled by Stripe on its own secure page. ALA never sees your card number. Refunds and cancellations.
