National Library Week is April 13-19. This year's theme is Join the circle of knowledge @ your library. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate. More information is available on the National Library Week fact sheet and you can find tips for organizing and promoting National Library Week at www.ala.org/@yourlibrary. AND....
Share your National Library Week story! Let ALA know how you're promoting National Library Week, and you'll be entered into a drawing to win one of three $25 gift certificates to ALA Graphics.
It's School Library Media Month and many school library media programs celebrate in conjunction with, and sharing the same theme as, National Library Week. The School Library Media Month and National Library Week are wonderful opportunities for you to participate in the Campaign for America's Libraries and its School Library Campaign component. Ideas and examples of how libraries are successfully using the @ your library brand can be found at www.ala.org/@yourlibrary.
The Florida Library Association Annual Conference will be April 22-25 on St. Pete Beach. Don't miss this opportunity to network with your colleagues, see great vendor exhibits, attend some great training sessions.
April 30 is El día de los niños/El día de los libros - an annual celebration of children, families, and reading. The celebration emphasizes the importance of advocating literacy for every child regardless of linguistic and cultural background. To learn more, read the El día brochure online in its full text .
