New Friday Notes: notes for next week
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

“Shojo - the word means girl in Japanese - frequently involves a lovelorn teenager seeking a boyfriend or dealing with situations like entering a new school, being bullied or trying to break away from a clique. There are also action stories featuring girls in strong roles as scientists and samurai warriors. (The shojo genre has been called "big eyes save the world," after the characteristic drawing style of girls with saucer-shaped eyes who are sometimes endowed with supernatural powers.)” Copyright 2005 The New York Times Company

“Created in Japan, then translated into English, the genre is the fastest-growing segment of the publishing industry, with 2004 sales estimated at more than $120 million, up 20% from 2003.”

ALA Creates 'Adopt a Library' Program to assist Gulf region libraries recover and rebuild
September 14, 2005

(CHICAGO) While cleanup efforts begin in Louisiana and Mississippi, the American Library Association (ALA) continues its mission to lend support to devastated libraries in the Gulf Coast region. The ALA's Chapter Relations Office has established an "Adopt a Library" program to provide assistance to libraries damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

The program will provide an opportunity for U.S. libraries of all types to adopt a library in the Gulf Coast. The ALA will collect information from libraries that need assistance, and will connect those libraries with others that can provide relief. Contributing libraries are asked to lend support in the way of books, computers, fundraising and volunteers.

Libraries interested in adopting a library may visit ALA's Chapter Relations Office Web site at http://www.ala.org/katrina/adopt and complete a participation form.

ALA's Chapter Relations Office serves as the lead unit in ALA that gathers information on library disasters in the United States, and has been in constant contact with ALA chapters in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, and continues to gather information on damage to libraries in the region.

Information inquires should be directed to Michael Dowling, director of ALA Chapter Relations Office at 312-280-3200 or mdowling@ala.org.

For updates on the relief efforts for libraries affected by Hurricane Katrina please visit ALA's Hurricane Katrina Library Relief Web site at http://www.ala.org/katrina
