PNLA REPRESENTATIVE'S REPORT The PNLA Board met February 25-27, at the Dumas Center in Federal Way, Washington. After considerable deliberation the Board voted to revise membership dues. Dues have not been revised in over ten years. During that time the Board has drastically trimmed costs for publishing, meetings and communication. Analysis of costs demonstrated that membership services amount to nearly $30.00 per member. In order to give every member of PNLA a chance to vote, there will be a mail ballot. In an effort to increase membership the Board voted to offer a first time reduced membership rate of $35.00 for people who are already members of their state or provincial association. One free PNLA membership will be drawn for at each state and provincial conference. As of early February 46 people from Idaho are members of PNLA, out of a membership of 389. Plans for the Adult Readers Book Award are proceeding. A committee has been formed (Susannah Price of Boise Public Library and Terry Madden of Albertsons Library, Boise State University are the Idaho members) and fundraising has begun. A detailed report will be presented at the conference in Kelowna in May. Check out the PNLA web site at www.pnla.org for its new look. Larry McCallum, University of Idaho, is the new webmaster. The joint British Columbia Library Association/PNLA conference will be held in Kelowna, BC May 25-27. The theme is "Celebrating Excellence." Keynote speaker is Ken Haycock, director of SLAIS at the University of British Columbia. For those planning far ahead: There will be a joint Canadian Library Association/American Library Association meeting in Toronto in 2003. The Public Library Association Conference will be held in Seattle, February 24-28, 2004. Janet Strong

Idaho Collections in Idaho Libraries Web Page Does your library have a collection of local/regional historical material? If yes, please consider adding information about it to the "Idaho Collections in Idaho Libraries" web page for the growing number of people interested in finding this type of information. You can find the web page at www.lili.org/idahocollections. This page was begun by a group of Boise area librarians who began meeting in October 1998 to informally discuss the care and maintenance of their collections of Idaho-related materials. We know that many Idaho libraries outside the Boise area have significant collections of Idaho-related materials, and we encourage you to include them on this web page. We need a short description of the collection and a link to the library's home page for further information. Please contact Rosemary Cooper at Boise Public Library (208) 384-4023 or rcooper@pobox.ci.boise.id.us for more information.
COMMITTEE SPOTLIGHT IDAHO LIBRARY ASSOCIATION PUBLIC RELATIONS & ADVOCACY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES The Public Relations & Advocacy Committee met during the 1999 ILA Annual Conference on October 7. Those present included: Kevin Booe, Cora Caldwell, Jim Fullerton, Pat A. Hamilton, Anne Hankins, Erin McCusker and Anne Abrams as the ISL Liaison. Sue Wagner has agreed to be a member of the committee, but was unable to attend. During the meeting, committee members decided upon four courses of action to undertake over the next year. These paths were decided upon after studying the ILA Constitution, Policies & Procedures and the Strategic Plan. The PR & A Committee will be a resource for Idaho librarians and the ILA community for public relations and advocacy issues. Committee members will help with PR and advocacy issues and give suggestions. The responsibility for press releases rests with the executive board, divisions or the individual committees of ILA that are pertinent to the topic. If someone needs help with these types of issues, they should try to contact a committee member in their region. In cooperation with the Membership Committee, the PR & A Committee will develop a plan to recruit members. This year, the committee members will distribute membership brochures to attendees of the Spring Conference and will ask that brochures be taken back to hometown school librarians and paraprofessionals to personally invite this population of Idaho's library community to ILA. Anne Abrams will include a membership reminder in the ISL newsletter. Several ideas were generated to advocate for Idaho's libraries: * Articles for the Idaho Librarian will be generated. Anne Hankins will write about testifying before the Idaho Legislature. In the issue before the next annual conference, Jim Fullerton will write an article on the benefits of trustees attending the conference. * In order to promote the need for continued support for the LiLI-D project, a plan to distribute LiLI-D candy bars to state legislators was devised. Librarians will commit to deliver candy bars to their local legislators with information and thanks before the next session. During this session, librarians and friends of the library community will deliver little candy bars to legislators on Valentine's Day. A postcard will go out to ILA members to remind them to invite their legislator to Legislative Day. On ILA Legislative Day, lilies (or some type of flower) will be delivered to legislators to remind them of LiLI and the LiLI-D project. * A direct mailing to ILA members and the education community will go out before the registration packet for the next annual conference advertising an advocacy speaker that will be presenting at the conference. According to the ILA Strategic Plan, this committee will review the Communication Plan over the next year to revise and update it. The revised plan will be introduced to the membership at the annual conference in 2000. Terry Collins of Seattle Public Library was recommended as the advocacy speaker to recomment to the Annual Conference Committee. Seattle Public has received large amounts of gift money and passed a large bond. He would speak on issues of partnerships, fundraising, bond elections and marketing. Members will communicate with each other through e-mail. Erin McCusker will compile a list of members and their contact information and will distribute it to committee members and the executive board. Respectfully submitted,

3M announces program to donate up to $1 million to schools In an effort to help school libraries maintain their valuable resources, 3M, a leader in library security, announces the launch of "3M Salute to Schools," a program providing up to $1 million in 3M Detection Systems to school library media centers in the United States. "3M is ecstatic about being able to bring more 3M Detection Systems into school library media centers. Without a security system, libraries lose hundreds of books and other educational resources every year," says Don Leslie, 3M Library Systems. "A security system is crucial to protecting the resources that enhance education and help create a stimulating learning environment for students." The program is being sponsored by 3M, in partnership with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), a division of the American Library Association (ALA). AASL will be responsible for receiving applications and selecting recipients for the donation. Both 3M and AASL share a commitment to education and investing in our nation's schools. "Protecting library resources in schools contributes to the overall improvement of library media services for young people, and that's what AASL is all about," says Ellen Jay, president of AASL. "AASL is pleased to partner with 3M to help school libraries preserve these resources for students throughout the country." The program is open to middle schools and high schools in the United States. Schools selected to receive the donation will be awarded a 3M Detection System for the entrance/exit of their media center, a supply of 3M "Tattle-Tape" Security Strips for marking items in their collection and necessary materials processing accessories. Individual donations will vary depending upon specific needs of the library, such as the size of the collection and the physical layout of the media center. To receive the donation, a school must meet eligibility requirements, including demonstrating a need for a security system. Schools must apply by May 31, 2000. Applications are available online at www.3M.com/library or by calling the ALA Fax-On-Demand at 800-545-2433, press 4, choose document #802. Recipients will be announced at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. For more information about "3M Salute to Schools," call the AASL Awards

Great Reading en route to America's Rural and Small Libraries Carnegie Corporation of New York, in recognition of the great reach and service of the nation's rural and small libraries, has awarded a $1 million grant to the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Endowment will administer a competition to select approximately 800 small and rural libraries across the country that will receive the most recent fifty-volume collection of Library of America great books series. "Last year, on the 100th Anniversary of our founder Andrew Carnegie's gift to the City of New York which began his library grantmaking, the Corporation chose to recognize urban libraries and their contribution to the new populations they serve," said Vartan Gregorian, president of Carnegie Corporation of New York. "This year we are working with the National Endowment for the Humanities to enrich the collections of rural and small libraries in order to offer the loyal readers in their communities across the country a rich and varied reading experience. In an era of government cutbacks, public libraries are hard pressed to purchase different kinds of print and non-print materials that the public demands and we believe this unique collection will fill a vacuum for those without them." The collections, compiled and distributed by staff members at the Library of America, feature works by American authors as varied as Mark Twain, Herman Melville, James Baldwin, Abraham Lincoln, and Zora Neale Hurston. The fifty-volume set of works are each between 900 and 1,600 pages in length and feature not only novelists, but the works of historians, essayists, journalists, philosophers and statesmen. Each book in the collection will bear a bookplate that recognizes Carnegie Corporation of New York's gift. "This core-collections gift follows up on last year's one-time commemorative grant to urban libraries and reflects the spirit of partnership of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Library of America and the American Library Association. Many advocates of small and rural institutions came to the Corporation after our commemorative grant and this award recognizes both the needs expressed and the support offered," said Gregorian. "We are proud to be the recipient of the Carnegie grant because it recognizes our mission to bring the humanities to all Americans," National Endowment for the Humanities Chairman William R. Ferris said. "We're especially excited about the special educational programs we're developing for this initiative, and we welcome other partners like Carnegie Corporation of New York who can help us make the humanities more accessible nationwide." NEH is overseeing the project and selecting the recipient libraries through its peer review process. Corporation funds will underwrite the costs of making the sets available to public libraries as well as provide related training to library staff. The funds will also help develop special programs to stimulate public interest in the volumes, including readings from the texts by celebrities and writers. Each participating library will pay a required match of $250 to receive the collection. This project expands an earlier subsidized book-purchasing initiative managed by Library of America that selected 2,900 rural libraries to receive the first 60 volumes. This grant to approximately 800 libraries will include the latest fifty volumes that were published between 1992 and 1999. Rural libraries that received the first collection will be eligible for this new series, as will small and some suburban libraries. The American Library Association estimates that in 1998 more than 136 million people used libraries across the United States. In 1996, the last year for which figures are available, over 1.5 billion items were circulated from America's public libraries.
