CHICAGO -- The American Library Association (ALA) has launched a Web 
page with resources and tools to help libraries celebrate the inaugural 
National Bookmobile Day, Wednesday April 14, 2010, during National 
Library Week.

The page, www.ala.org/bookmobiles 
<http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/olos/nbdhome.cfm>, features 
sample publicity materials, including a press release, 
letter-to-the-editor and proclamations for library staff and supporters 
to use in their communities. Also included on the page are downloadable 
National Bookmobile Day logos, bookmark templates, a customizable flyer 
and links to National Bookmobile Day on social networking sites.

In addition, the toolkit also has links to the National Bookmobile Day 
community in ALA Connect, where librarians can collaborate and share 
ideas on promoting the event. Participating libraries can share ideas 
and stories on how they celebrate the contribution of bookmobiles and 
direct-delivery outreach.

Part of National Library Week, National Bookmobile Day is a national 
observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA), the 
Association for Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS) and the 
Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL).

For more information on National Bookmobile Day, please contact John 
Amundsen, Communications Specialist, ALA Office for Literacy and 
Outreach Services, at (312) 280-2140, or e-mail jamundsen at ala.org
