Preservation Week

Celebrate ALA Preservation Week this April

ALA's third national collections Preservation Week will take place
April 22-28, 2012.  Preservation Week is an opportunity to connect
the care of collections and family treasures with your communities.
Over the last two years, hundreds of events to provide preservation
education to the public have taken place in public, academic, and
school libraries, state agencies, archives, and historical
societies.
