Up to three winners will be announced during National Library Week (April 2-8, 2006).

They should be as local (state related) as possible.

They should be creative.

They should include a “value” component (see examples at right).
-
There should be a minimum of two public, two school and two academic examples. The rest are up to you.

Background:
In a recent Campaign member survey, ALA learned that libraries across the country are looking for research and statistics that can help them make the case about their value to their schools, campuses and communities. Both you and ALA can use the data to share with media and in advocacy activities.
