I'm glad that ALA is focusing on this issue! It's a small step, but one in the right direction. Dawn 2007 ALA Annual Conference Explores Wage Concerns of Rural, Small Libraries Salaries for librarians working in rural areas have historically been far below those of their urban counterparts. How can rural libraries make their salaries more competitive and attract qualified job candidates? A program at the 2007 ALA Annual Conference will address this topic in Washington, DC. The program is entitled "Rural and Small Libraries vs. Small Salaries." Panelists will discuss where salaries now stand and how several rural and small libraries are addressing salary concerns. Slated to moderate the discussion is Carol Barta, Assistant Director of the North Central Kansas Libraries System. Barta also chairs the ALA Committee on Rural, Native, and Tribal Libraries of All Kinds. This program will be held on Saturday, June 23 at 1:30 pm. Check your program guide for location information. The 2007 Annual Conference will be held in Washington D.C., from June 21-27, 2007. To register, visit the ALA website <http://www.ala.org/ala/eventsandconferencesb/annual/2007a/home.htm>. Co-sponsored by the ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS) and ALA-APA.
