[CALIBK12] Fwd: Libraries Build Communities in Anaheim: Please Consider Volunteering!

[Millam, Joy]

I encourage you all to find a way to make time for this terrific
volunteer opportunity. Five schools in my district have been chosen and
boy are we excited to get some helping hands in here.  

I've seen the difference LBC makes in New Orleans and Washington D.C.  I
can't wait to see loving library pros come into Orange County.

Thanks!

Good afternoon!

 

I'm writing to let you know of a volunteer opportunity, offered in
conjunction with the 2008 American Library Association Annual
Conference: the Libraries Build Communities project.  This project began
in New Orleans during the 2006 ALA Annual Conference.  That is when ALA
member-volunteers helped with projects related to the damage inflicted
by Hurricane Katrina.  Since then, ALA members have continued to
volunteer to assist in cities where they meet for Annual Conferences.

 

Projects at the 2008 ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim include those at
elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, a public library
located in a Social Services shelter, and Second Harvest.  Volunteer
opportunities include inventory, cataloging and repairing a catalog,
updating books, designing a bulletin board to encourage reading,
archiving 115 years of high school history, helping with a puppet and
craft show, and food distribution.

 

Libraries Build Communities makes a huge difference to schools and
libraries drastically affected by cuts in staff, budgets, and supplies.


 

To help out in Anaheim, many past volunteers have signed up.  You, too,
can volunteer, if you want!  

 

The day to help out is on Friday, June 27, approximately 8:00 a.m.-5:00
p.m.  This is all you have to do to let us know you want to pitch in!:

 

Visit http://tinyurl.com/3klch7 <http://tinyurl.com/3klch7> , which will
take you to the ALA page to register online for events on-line.   (Since
LBC is optional, you need to  add this project to your registration.
You can register for LBC on the online registration form.   If you
register using a paper form, you will need the LBC "Event Code," which
is  AL3.  The cost to register is $10, but your registration fee will be
contributed to local library funds.  In addition, lunch, transportation,
and a participation T-shirt are included.)

 

By mid-May or thereabouts, all volunteers will be notified in advance of
the various projects and be able to pick the one in which they wish to
participate.

Thanks for your time and consideration!  I hope to work with you in
Anaheim!
