What are you doing on September 11th?
Don't have any plans yet??
Here's a GREAT idea!

Why not walk or run at the 15th Annual Glen Iris 5k being held at the beautiful Letchworth State Park?

This is a fundraiser for the Cordelia A. Greene Library located in Castile, NY.It's not expensive to enter and you come home with better health, fun memories and a t-shirt!

ALA in Washington, DC

The American Library Association Annual conference was held in Washington, DC the last week of June. 19,513 people attended this conference. There were 6,688 exhibitors as well. This was up from the attendance in Chicago the year prior. Numbers in Chicago were 22,762 attendees and 6,179 exhibitors. (Just a reminder - Library Assistants have a Round Table at ALA and are very active).
On the closing day of the conference, Library advocates gathered on Capitol Hill for the first ever National Library Advocacy Day! Over 1800 people attended this event! After the rally, attendees visited their local representatives.
What a GREAT attendance for this important advocacy event!

Happy 4th of July
