ALA Assortments: A New Scrapbook in Town

There's a new electronic multimedia scrapbook on the Web that ought to make library workers proud, the American Library Association Public Information Office's Media Coverage of ALA Conference in New Orleans.

In the section on Volunteer Activity come these startling and "awwww"-inspiring statistics:

Over 2 days, 900+volunteers did over 3.8 years of work at 18 libraries, 6 private homes, 5 community centers and the primary food pantry in New Orleans. They touched the lives of over 250,000 people in the Crescent City, proving that libraries and librarians are visible agents of change across the nation.

To the numerous CFLC members who participated in these activities, way to go!
