<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If you missed an opportunity to enter AASL’s Learning 4 Life student video contest, there is still time to engage older students in a fun contest that could win your library money.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">ALA President Roberta Stevens is sponsoring the Why I Need My Library video contest for teens, ages 13-18. The contest asks teens to create short, original videos on why they think libraries are needed now more than ever.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">There are still three weeks left to enter and rich incentives for participating teens. Winning teens will select their school or public library as the recipient of cash prizes. There is a total of $20,000 at stake, with $3,000 going
to each of two grand prize winners. In addition, each member of the winning group will receive a $50 gift card to an online bookseller.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Looking for tips on getting teens involved? Visit <a href="http://bit.ly/dN5KBI">
http://bit.ly/dN5KBI</a> to find a list of tips and resources on making videos. There’s also a sample flier to help tell them what the contest is about, as well as videos from teens at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library that speak directly to teens about why
they should enter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">As a co-chair of the Why I Need My Library taskforce, it has been exciting to see this contest come together and to know that engagement with young adult library advocates is a high priority for Roberta’s presidential year. I hope you
will work with teens at your library to make a video, and I look forward to seeing the video entries from your school.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
