News for the Bookmobile!

The Center for  the Study of Rural Librarianship (CSRL) was established by the Department of Library Science at the Clarion University of Pennsylvania .  CSRL  has developed a website tailored to  bookmobile service and rural librarianship, striving to educate people, nationally and internationally,  on the role of rural libraries.  CSRL is concerned with the development and use of technology in rural communities.  CSRL has included information on the Great American Bookmobile Conference and a bookmobile listserv, bkmob-l.

Diversity Tool Kit

The State Library gave NOLA a copy of the Diversity Tool Kit which was developed by Lee Gardenswartz and Anita Rowe and retails for $300. I participated in Lee's workshop, "Recruiting and Managing for Diversity," last fall and it was one of the finest diversity programs that I have had the opportunity to attend in the past ten years. If you are interested in borrowing the Tool Kit, send an e-mail message to Rose Marie Pecchio. [email protected]

There is a wealth of information on diversity on the Internet. For articles by Gardenswartz and Rowe and other diversity resources that your library can use, follow the links.

Annual Reports

I have had several requests from directors for library annual reports. Please send a copy of your latest annual report to me for our files. If your annual report is already on your web site, let me know. If interested in perusing reports from other libraries, stop by the office the next time you are in the area.
