Hello, During the ALA Conference in Washington DC last week, I was contacted by Melanie Welch from the ALA's Public Programs office. She asked that I share the following information with our members:
"It occurred to me that your members might be interested in 2 programs ALA's Public Programs Office is involved in: One with the Yiddish Book Center for public libraries http://programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-yiddish-book-center%E2%80%99s-%E2%80%9Ccoming-america%E2%80%9D-reading-groups-public-libraries and another with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for public and academic libraries http://programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-%E2%80%98americans-and-holocaust%E2%80%99-traveling-exhibition-tour <http://programminglibrarian.org/articles/apply-now-%E2%80%98americans-and-holocaust%E2%80%99-traveling-exhibition-tour> Even if your members' libraries aren't one of the library types listed, they night want to spread the word, or potentially partner with a local public or academic library on a program." Both of these programs sound very interesting. I encourage you to participate in any way you can. Please let us know if you are successful in bringing either of these programs to your community.
