American Library Association Launch New Database For Library Staff

The American Library Association (ALA) has launched a new anecdotal
database that will feature information submitted by library staff and
users about local library funding as part of its overall effort to raise
awareness about budget cuts nationwide.
These personal reports will supplement published news reports compiled by
the ALA over the past 10 months, which are searchable by type of library,
name of library or by city.
"This is a critical effort that demands nationwide support and attention
to be successful," said ALA President Carla Hayden. "With National Library
Legislative Day approaching May 4, I hope all library advocates will log
on and tell their stories of how budget cuts are impacting their
communities. This information will help us make the case to legislators
and other leaders who are in a position to influence library funding."
