Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to all of you, we've accomplished a lot during my presidential year.  My presidential initiative, Our Authors, Our Advocates: Authors Speak Out for Libraries, enlisted well-known authors from around the nation to become articulate and powerful spokespeople for libraries.  A web resource, entitled "Cultivating Your Local Notables toolkit," allowed library supporters to do the same at the local level.

Please help us keep the dialogue on America's libraries going. Spread the word.  These four new public services announcements are available for placement on your library's website and for sharing with your library's advocates.

Visit www.ourauthorsouradvocates.org to view, and www.ala.org/localnotables  to learn how to turn your local authors into library advocates.

Thank you,

Roberta Stevens
2010-2011 President
American Library Association
