Sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country, it is designed to showcase the unique and vital roles played by public, school, academic and special libraries nationwide. The campaign launched to the library community in July 2000 at ALA's Annual Conference. It will officially launch to the public during National Library Week, April 1-7, 2001.
Librarians are techno-savvy, on the forefront of the information age.
In a world that's information rich, they are information smart, and help ensure a society where everyone is information literate. Libraries are places of opportunity. Libraries are part of the American dream. They are a place for education and self-help. And because they offer free access to all, they bring opportunity to all.
