Colleagues:



*I’m honored to be asked by People to People and the American Library
Association to lead a tour to India November 2-11, 2014.    *I’ve been
working with international libraries for 20 years, particularly in Bulgaria
and other countries in Eastern Europe and I’m co-founder of the
International Library Cultural Exchange Interest Group of the Colorado
Association of Libraries.  We are very pleased to have CAL’s support in our
expanded work with international libraries.

I’m excited to lead this tour because it combines visits to cultural sites
and interacting with our librarian colleagues in India.    People to People
tours always create wonderful opportunities for networking and expanding
our understanding of the successes and challenges of our library colleagues
around the world.



*You can learn more about this trip at
**www.peopletopeople.com/ALA*<http://www.peopletopeople.com/ALA>



As People to People describes it:   *You can experience India firsthand
with your library and information services peers from India and around the
world through vibrant professional exchanges, valuable networking, and
meaningful discussions tailored to your focus and interests.*

Professional highlights of the trip include:

   - Local library and information science professionals from various
   sectors for a *mini-symposium in New Delhi*.

·         Librarians and information technology specialists at *local
libraries* (public, children’s, and school depending on the interests of
tour participants.)

   - *Professionals at a local university* to learn about the extent of
   professional development available to Indian librarians and the delivery
   mechanisms for professional development.

*Information about the cultural sites we will visit in New Delhi, Jaipur,
and Agra go to **www.peopletopeople.com/ALA*<http://www.peopletopeople.com/ALA>*.
*You are invited to bring a guest with you who will have alternative visits
while we meet with librarians.

I hope you can join me for this trip to India.
