ALA Anaheim - A few More Photos

Couldn't leave out CAL's infamous leader, Martin Garnar, as well as a bunch of the State Library Crew, who came to the celebration in droves. Thanks all!

ALA Anaheim - Fun Times

I can hardly believe it's already been a month since annual. Annual was packed with lots of Council business, but we also managed to have some fun. Here are some photos of some of the folks who were able to make it to the Colorado get-together at the Council suite. Hope to see you in January in Denver. That will be here before we know it!

Picturing America

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), in cooperation with the ALA Public Programs Office, is now accepting applications for the second round of Picturing America. Online applications will be accepted through Oct. 31 at http://picturingamerica.neh.org.

Picturing America is a free educational resource that helps teach American history and culture by bringing some of our nation's greatest works of art directly to classrooms and libraries. At no cost, recipients will receive a set of high-quality reproductions of 40 pieces of great American art (each approximately 24 inches by 36 inches) and an illustrated teachers resource book with information about the artists and artwork and lesson ideas for all grade levels to facilitate the use of the reproductions in core subject areas. Delivery of these materials is scheduled for spring 2009. Additional educational resources are also available through the Picturing America Web site, http://picturingamerica.neh.gov. Resources to support public library programming will be added in the spring.
