The RILA Bulletin, the official newsletter of the Rhode Island Library Association, has been published for decades, providing updates in library news and trends to the members of the association.
RILA members can contribute content to the RILA Bulletin by submitting an article or emailing the editors at communications@rilibraries.org. Editors of The RILA Bulletin reserve the right to make edits to or reject any submission as they see fit. See the bottom of this web page for more information.
With the generous time and effort of the staff of the Douglas & Judith Krupp Library at Bryant University, the archives of the printed issues of the RILA Bulletin going back to 1923 have been included with the Digital Common archive, which collects local materials as part of a statewide digital preservation project pooling publications from public, academic, and private libraries.
