Registration is now open for Deserts in Bloom: Cultivating Information
Access. The annual conference of the Southwestern Association of Law
Libraries (SWALL) will meet April 19-21 in Tempe, Arizona. For a
registration form, and details on the conference, see:
http://www.aallnet.org/chapter/swall/
SWALL is also sponsoring a book drive during the conference. Please
consider donating a children's book and/or a book for senior citizens.
The donations will go to two libraries:
--Children's books will go to the Thomas J Pappas schools for the
homeless. There are about 900 students currently attending three
campuses. The district also includes schools in juvenile detention and
rehabilitation centers and the state hospital. There are about 1,540
students all together.
--Books for senior citizens and homebound seniors will go to the Sun
City Library, a 501(c) library run totally on community donations. The
library is still using a traditional card catalog because they have no
funding to automate. In order to raise funds they rely on donations of
books, record albums, CDs, videotapes, DVDs, magazines, and audiobooks
which they sell back to the community.
Attendees may donate books and and other materials in good-to-excellent
condition at the conference.
