ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Rescheduled: Summer Library Program
Workshop, Feb. 24 - Grundy Center Community Center
For more registration information see below.
CE ABOUT THE STATE - ILA
Be ready for conversations with your legislators
— check ILA's Advocacy
Hotline for the most recent news on this year's session.
ABOUT THE LSA:
- February 22 - ILA Lobby from home day
- March 8 ILA Legislative Day - Yes we expect to take two vans
to DM, check at the NEILSA
CE registration for a ride. If you are planning to drive yourself
and are willing to take passengers, let me know and we'll try
to help coordinate car-pooling.
Thanks to the Gates Foundation Staying Connected grant,
the State Library is pleased to offer public libraries a new optional
service - hosting your library's Web site and e-mail. This
service will make it possible for a public library to easily create
its own Web site, using page templates developed by
the State Library. The Web sites will be preloaded with local
information specific to each library, including hours, location,
links to local catalogs, and trustees. Library customers will
be able to access statewide resources such as EbscoHost
through their local library's Web site.
Through the e-mail hosting service, regardless of the Internet
Service Provider (ISP), each public library will be able to have
consistent and stable e-mail addresses making it easier to communicate
with customers. In other words, when a library changes ISPs,
the library's e-mail address will remain the same.
A letter about this project will be mailed to all public library
directors and board presidents later in February. We know
that you and your board will need time and more information before
deciding whether to take advantage of this new service. Therefore,
on Friday, March 17, 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., there will be an information
session over the ICN. At this session, library directors and board
members will have an opportunity to preview the Web site templates
and get your questions answered.
Information about ICN locations and registration for the
information session will be available at a later date. Be
watching for the letter formally announcing this new service.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please let me
know.

three teen workshops in person across Iowa. If you have been doing
a teen summer program or are interested in providing one for the
first time, this workshop is for you.
The 2006 teen summer theme "Creature Feature" will be

library manual is located at the back of the Paws, Claws,
Scales and Tales Manual you received last October. We have a great
program and wonderful door prizes ready for the workshop.
