Dear Librarian:

The ALA Public Programs Office is pleased to partner with the National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for the seventh We the People
Bookshelf project. This year's theme, "A More Perfect Union," invites
reflection on the idea of the United States as a "union," a "One" as
well as a "Many," and will complement library programs observing the
sesquicentennial of the Civil War. To stimulate programming, the
Bookshelf features a DVD edition of "The Civil War," the award-winning
documentary by Ken Burns, including the rights to show the series to
public audiences.. 

Public and school (K-12) libraries are invited to apply online through
January 29, 2010 at http://publicprograms.ala.org/bookshelf
<http://maildogmanager.com/link.html?url=1631&client=ala1&campaign=769&e
mail=crogers at statelibrary.sc.gov> . A single application may be
submitted on behalf of multiple libraries within a library system,
school district or community. Individual branch and school libraries are
also encouraged to apply.

In spring 2010, NEH will award 4,000 libraries a collection of 17
classic hardcover books for young readers, related to the theme, "A More
Perfect Union", as well as the option to receive Spanish translations of
three titles, and bonus materials for readers of all ages. Successful
applicants will also receive accompanying materials for programming,
including bookplates, bookmarks and posters. 

For programming ideas and tips, access to the guidelines and
application, book titles, and further details, visit

mail=crogers at statelibrary.sc.gov> . With questions, contact
