ALA Elections - Support Colorado Candidates!

If you are an ALA member you should have received an email ballot last week allowing you to vote in the 2009 ALA Elections. There are several folks from Colorado that I encourage you to support. The more representation we have from Colorado, the better chance we have to influence policy on a national basis. In addition, this is just a great group of people who deserve your support. Thanks for your consideration!

Best regards,
