The American Library Association Center for Civic Life is surveying libraries to determine what they are offering in terms of civic and community engagement.  Some more information is available here.  Please take the survey!  It's important to offer some proof of how we are supporting and engaging with our communities.

I'm thrilled that my colleague and co-teacher, Cheryl Lauricella, and I will be co-presenting, along with Kirsten Fox from Ohio Campus Compact, about service learning at the 2011 Annual Academic Library Association of Ohio conference in Toledo, November 4. Our presentation title is Service Learning and Libraries:  Emerging Opportunities for today's changing higher education landscape. More information about the conference is coming soon here.
