Group Membership
Lyrasis partners with state libraries and organizations through group memberships to extend our services to their members. This expansion creates more opportunities for professional development, grant funding, and access to archival supplies.
Group Membership is available to organizations serving multiple entities, such as state library agencies, local consortia, or associations of libraries and cultural heritage organizations with a shared focus (e.g., trial court or hospital libraries supported by a central administrative agent).
Group Member central agencies can access certain benefits of Lyrasis membership. Additionally, the organizations served by the Group Member are eligible for Lyrasis membership benefits including:
- 20% discount off the non-member price for Lyrasis classes and trainings
- Access and invitation to apply for the Lyrasis Catalyst Fund, a Lyrasis grant exclusively offered to Institutional and Group members.
- 20% discount on archival supplies from Hollinger Metal Edge
- Free postings to the Lyrasis Job Bank; saving $150 off the non-member price.
