AJL member Barbara Silverman is in the running for a position as an ALA Council-at-Large.
I urge ALA members to vote for this smart and gracious librarian, who cares mightily about libraries. I know Barbara Silverman from her dedicated work in San Diego at the Astor Library of the Lawrence Family JCC and from her work on a variety of other book related programs. Barbara was on hand at the AJL conference in June 2004 to accept the AJL accreditation award for the Astor Library and she plans to attend this year's AJL conference in Oakland. I highly recommend Barbara Silverman as an excellent candidate for ALA Council. Please contact every ALA member you know and urge them to support Barbara Silverman's candidacy. Competition for these positions is fierce and every vote counts.
