It’s different for everyone. For some it’s a new job. For others, it’s starting a business, retiring early or learning a new skill. But however they define success, people count on your library for ways to help them reach their goals.

Libraries worldwide have already worked together to create WorldCat, a remarkable example of collaborative information Let’s keep learning services.

Reclaiming Main Street and Libraries In a recent study, many Americans said that they feel that the country is lost amid a sea of changes, and that they crave more openness, simpler liv- ing, humility and compassion – in sum, they want to kick-start a new trajectory for the country that begins with small, local actions. Author and philanthro- pist Richard C. Harwood will discuss these and other key findings from his new Main Street study today, from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center room 207A. Harwood will focus on the potential for libraries to strengthen their role in communities and civic life. This session will give ALA members from all types of libraries an opportunity to consider the implications of the Main Street study for their work as agents of democracy, ranging from building public dialogue skills and engaging a variety of com- munities at the local level to lobbying and galvanizing grass roots action at the national level. The ALA is one of the first stops on Harwood’s national tour. This session is co-sponsored by the ALA Center for Civic Life, the ALA Committee on Leg- islation, the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee and ALA Public and Cul- tural Programs Advisory Committee.
