THE STATE OF AMERICA'S LIBRARIES

The American Library Association has issued a report this month entitled THE STATE OF AMERICA'S LIBRARIES Similar to the President's "State-Of-The-Union" message, it gives the ALA's opinion as to the overall health of the nation's libraries and library systems, and also points out potential dangers that threaten the health and well-being of our libraries.

It's well worth a read. If you're a bit pressed on time, they have an Executive Summary available. Check it out at ... http://www.ala.org/ala/pressreleases2007/march2007/salexecsummary.htm
