Through a new video contest sponsored by the American Library Association, now is the time to turn the connection that teens have for their library into a definitive action.
The Why I Need My Library video contest asks teens to create short, original videos on why they think libraries are needed now more than ever.
There’s still plenty of time to enter, and cash prizes are waiting for th
e winners’ libraries. There is a total of $20,000 in prizes available, with $3,000 going to each of two grand-prize winners’ libraries.
ALA’s advocacy website, ilovelibraries.org (http://bit.ly/dN5KBI) has a sample flier to help spread the word about the contest, as well as tips and resources on engaging teens and making videos. Also featured are videos from teens at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library that speak directly to teens about why they should enter. Please share the videos on your library’s website or blog or share with teens or colleagues you think might be interested in the contest.
Sponsored by ALA President Roberta Stevens, Why I Need My Library places engagement with young library advocates as a priority for her presidential year. Please join us in spreading the word. If you work with teens at your library, please encourage them to submit an entry. The deadline is April 18.
Thank you for staying engaged in library advocacy.
Sincerely,
Marci Merola
