2010 Annual Conference Programs

National Preservation Week: Pass It On!

Sunday, June 27, 8–10am

Build on ALA's first Preservation Week (May 9–15, 2010) to celebrate collecting, increase preservation savvy, grow audiences, and strengthen community partnerships. Learn how to help your patrons find information to preserve their collections—personal, family, and community, formal and informal—from antiques, art, and collectibles through books, photographs, recordings, and computer-age media. Speakers representing different types of libraries from around the country will share tools and stories from 2010 programs to help you plan for 2011.
