Love your Library??

Want to help them get the word out about events and activities?

Do you love your local library? KOAA loves a good library too. Encourage your local librarian to sign on to our site and start posting their events to our calendar for free! Totally free! 100% free.  Really! (Instructions are here.)

And now here is a way to pay BACK those great librariansNominate your favorite librarian for the 2014 I Love My Librarian award, sponsored by the American Library Association, the New York Times, and @yourlibrary. It's an easy form, although to do it right you'll want to allocate about 10 minutes to describing why your librarian is so awesome (he or she deserves your time and energy on this, don't you think?). Nominations are being accepted through September 12. Wouldn't it be great if one of our librarians won this year? The nomination form is here.
