Woman’s
Day magazine library contest open through May 9<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">CHICAGO – Libraries
have until
May 9 to promote Woman’s Day magazine’s newest initiative,
“why the library is important to my community.” The American
Library Association (ALA) and Woman’s Day are looking for stories that
showcase the importance and value of libraries within the communities
they
serve. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Women ages 18 and up
are invited
to send in their stories in 700 words or less to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:womansday@ala.org">womansday@ala.org</a>. Up
to
four stories will be profiled in the March 2011 issue of the magazine
or at
womansday.com.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Librarians can
download free tools
to help collect local stories from the Campaign for America’s Libraries
Web site (<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.ala.org/womansday">www.ala.org/womansday</a>).
Tools include a sample press release and newsletter copy. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A downloadable Web
button that
can be linked to the official rules on the Woman’s Day Web site (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.womansday.com/ala">www.womansday.com/ala</a>)
is also
available.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The initiative
continues a
nine-year partnership between the magazine and ALA’s Campaign for
America’s Libraries that has generated millions of dollars worth of
editorial coverage for libraries. Since 2002, Woman’s Day has asked
its readers to write in about “how the library has changed my
life,” “how the library helped improve my health” and
“how the library helped me deal with the tough economy.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Woman’s Day magazine
is a
Partner in the Campaign for America’s Libraries (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.ala.org/@yourlibrary">www.ala.org/@yourlibrary</a>),
ALA’s public awareness campaign that promotes the value of libraries
and
librarians. Thousands of libraries of all types – across the country
and
around the globe - use the Campaign’s @ your library® brand. The
Campaign is made possible by ALA’s Library Champions, corporations and
foundations that advocate the importance of the library in American
society.<o:p></o:p></p>
