Libraries can change lives. They are places of lifelong learning and opportunity that can help people discover the world. Woman's Day magazine wants to hear about how libraries have affected the lives of people.
As part of its latest editorial initiative, Woman's Day magazine is collecting stories on how the library has changed its readers' lives. The magazine announced the initiative in its March 7 issue, which reached subscribers last week. In the issue, it declares that “libraries are magical places” and asks readers to submit their stories in 700 words or less. Stories can be sent to womansday@ala.org from now until May 10, 2006, when the promotion closes.
Four of the submissions will be featured in an upcoming issue of Woman's Day.
The initiative is part of a program sponsored by the American Library Association and Woman's Day magazine called “Put it in Writing @ your library,” a part of The Campaign for America's Libraries. The Campaign is a multi-year public awareness and advocacy campaign designed to promote the value of public, school, academic and special libraries and librarians in the 21st century.
