E-Book Media and Communications Toolkit Now Available

Nebraska librarians and library supporter are encouraged to speak out in our communities across Nebraska. Everyone needs to know that libraries offer e-books and 21st century library services, but we are unable to offer all the e-reading choices our patrons need because some publishers refuse to work with us and because of funding challenges. ALA just released the e-book media toolkit, with resources to support your efforts to address this communication challenge. The toolkit includes op-ed and press release templates for library supporters interested in informing the public of the role that libraries play in building literate and knowledgeable communities. Check out these resources that you can use to support your library: http://www.districtdispatch.org/2012/11/right-now-ala-e-book-media-toolkit-available/. Do you think you can use these resources in your community? Please comment below and share examples.
