<p>Dear Colleague:</p>
<p>On October 29th, 2015, ALA’s new public awareness campaign,
Libraries Transform, will launch in Washington, D.C. and in communities and libraries
around the country. We need your help in making it a success!<a href="http://iz4.me/nROi2zdsK1V1" target="_blank"><img align="left" alt="Libraries Transform video" border="0" height="237" src="http://ala.informz.net/ala/data/images/Sari%20Video%20Pic.jpg" style="padding-right:8px;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;min-height:237px;text-align:left;width:400px" width="400"></a></p>
<p>The purpose of the new campaign is to increase public awareness of the ways
that libraries of all types transform people’s lives and our communities;
shift perception of the library from “obsolete” or “nice to have” to essential;
and energize library professionals and external advocates to influence local,
state and national decision-makers and increase support for libraries of all types.</p>
<p>This multi-year campaign will include national media outreach, public service
announcements, a social media campaign and ongoing events such as <a href="http://iz4.me/oROi2zdsK1V1" target="_blank">National
Library Week</a> and <a href="http://iz4.me/pROi2zdsK1V1" target="_blank">Banned Books Week</a>. It will also include attention-grabbing
and curiosity-stimulating graphics and tools that you can use in your library and your community.</p>
<p>Won’t you join us, and be part of both the Libraries Transform campaign and this October launch?</p>
<p>Be sure to watch <a href="http://iz4.me/qROi2zdsK1V1" target="_blank">my video</a> to learn more about Libraries Transform
and visit <a href="http://iz4.me/rROi2zdsK1V1" target="_blank">www.librariestransform.org</a> for more information on how to get started.</p>
<p>Yours,</p>
<p>Sari Feldman</p>
<p>ALA President</p></font>
