2010 Woman's Day magazine library contest open through May 9

 

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.

 

Women ages 18 and up are invited to send in their stories in 700 words 
or less to womansday at ala.org.  Up to four stories will be profiled in 
the March 2011 issue of the magazine or at womansday.com.

 

Librarians can download free tools to help collect local stories from 
the Campaign for America's Libraries Web site (www.ala.org/womansday 
<http://www.ala.org/womansday>).  Tools include a sample press release 
and newsletter copy.

 

A downloadable Web button that can be linked to the official rules on 
the Woman's Day Web site (www.womansday.com/ala 
<http://www.womansday.com/ala>) is also available.

 

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."

 

Woman's Day magazine is a Partner in the Campaign for America's 
Libraries (www.ala.org/@yourlibrary <http://www.ala.org/@yourlibrary>), 
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.

 

Other Partners include Carnegie Corporation of New York, Disney Book 
Group, Dollar General Literacy Foundation, the Financial Industry 
Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the International Federation of Library 
Associations and Institutions (IFLA), National Baseball Hall of Fame and 
Museum, Univision Radio and Verizon.
