The Newfoundland and Labrador Library Association
Invites you to Participate in 

Library Week 2001 April 29 - May 5

"Let Libraries Carry You Away!" is the theme for Newfoundland and Labrador Library Week 2001. The theme and logo tie in with Newfoundland and Labrador's Marconi Celebrations: Receiving the World. Marconi's innovations in technology and communication remind us of the groundbreaking role libraries continue to provide in the community as centres where knowledge and information are both preserved and communicated in a variety of print and electronic formats. Libraries mean different things to each of us, but in all cases they can teach us, inform us and entertain us: they can carry us away on our own personal journeys of discovery.

• A Library Week Update - Highlights of the opening day ceremonies.
• An announcement providing details on our "Flights of Fancy" Prose and Poetry contest.
• A list of suggested promotional ideas for celebrating Library Week 2001.
• An order form for T-Shirts and Key Rings with the Library Week theme and logo.
• Kites and Marconi bibliographies. (provided by the St. John's Public Libraries)
• A Library Week evaluation form.
• A book and Marconi Quiz, puzzles, and activities.

The Born to Read campaign will once again be featured in hospitals across the province. Check your local newspapers for coverage of the campaign which involves presenting a gift package to the first baby born in each hospital in the province during Library Week.

Please keep watching the Newfoundland and Labrador Library Association website for further developments.
