The special edition will describe the many ways the American Library Association (ALA) is involved in dealing with libraries facing a tough economy. “There are many units, offices and divisions in the association that are working with libraries to help them in a variety of ways, and we wanted to put together a special package of news articles and (items) from our Web site that exactly tells what we are doing,” Eberhart said.
