to Save America's Libraries in response to state budget shortfalls and
subsequent library funding cuts that threatened services coast to coast.
Working with a member group, the ALA Public Information Office created a
toolkit to support this effort nationally and in local communities.
The recent announcement that Salinas, California, will close its John
Steinbeck Library and two branches has shown again the need for these tools
and a vigorous national campaign to sustain and grow vital library services.
To this end, the ALA PIO has updated the Save America's Libraries tools -
adding links to the library funding database, the new best practices
database and other resources recently developed. The downloadable toolkit
PDF will be updated and posted soon.
We wanted to be sure you were aware of these materials and ask your
assistance in getting the word out to members nationwide. To access the
online tools, please visit
