Hi Everyone,

I thought that librarians in public library extension and outreach
departments might be interested in this toolkit.

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.
