Important Message

In fall 2008, ALA will unveil a redesigned web site, with a new look and easier navigation. The redesign is the culmination of two years of gathering information from focus groups, interviews, usability tests, surveys and other feedback loops. On August 1, ALA will begin migrating content to the new site. During this migration, the Public Programs Office will be unable to update its Web pages. However, we will be updating our blog and sending out news and updates via our electronic discussion list.

Please contact the Public Programs Office at publicprograms@ala.org if you need assistance locating specific content or updates during the migration. We invite you to preview the ALA site’s new look at www.ala.org/preview.
