Freedman launched the Campaign 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 http://www.ala.org/ala/pio/piopromotions/campaignsave.htm.   Gerald Hodges ALA Associate Executive Director [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dianne Koehler
