About

The David A. Howe Public Library in New York is planning to use the Bookapalooza materials to supplement their youth materials, as well as establish a rotating outreach collection for youth. Located in a rural area with low population density and no public transportation, they are making efforts to reach youth where they are. The new collection will greatly help them as they reach out to many different community facilities, including local schools which lack school librarians.

Creating a better future for all children through libraries is ALSC’s core purpose.
ALSC envisions a future where:
  • In every library, children come first.
  • All libraries acknowledge the importance of children’s service with adequate materials and resources.
  • All libraries recognize ALSC as a leader in promoting high quality service to children.
  • Libraries recognize and support the value of all staff serving children.
  • Resources, collections, services, and staff reflect the communities they serve.
  • The library’s physical space reflects the developmental needs of children.
  • Children and their families are being served by a variety of non-traditional programs and activities in off-site locations.
In keeping with this envisioned future, the Bookapalooza Program will offer select libraries a collection of materials that will help transform their collection and provide the opportunity for these materials to be used in their community in creative and innovative ways.
