9/26 - printed flyers are wanted for face-to-face classes and SIRLS - when can they be passed out since next meeting is Oct 7? I am not on campus at all during the week - I only have online classes and am a full-time high school teacher (i.e., 60 hours a week) - Angelina

I printed the flyers on Monday and put them up around SIRLS. I will bring more to Wednesday's meeting so that members with Face2Face classes can take them to their classes.

I can also send out reminder emails (w/a link to the SurveyMonkey registration).

Status updates (most recent first, please):

6/14 - The UA Main Library Research West exhibit space (off of main lobby) has been booked tentatively from 9/28-10/9, so we can use this space if we want to.

7/7/09 - This week: Molly will call Gallager to see about showing the film--

Olivia will look into ordering buttons for promo within 10 days.

Comments/Suggestions/Questions:

The idea is this will be something held at the UA Main Library. It could be a display/exhibit, a panel discussion, a faciliated discussion group, a film screening, a speaker or speaker series. The UA Library has not generally done anything to celebrate this week and I want that to change!

See more ideas and info here: ALA Banned Books Week.

Some other ideas that we could incorporate into the week's festivities:

Partnering with Pima County Public Libraries for a youth event
Closing the week´s festivities with a Burn Charcoal, Not Books potluck

--Look for books that you can put on display in UA Main Library

Updated Ideas:

--Kick off week with a film screening

--Have display in UA Main Library

--Host a panel discussion with various professors and librarians (school, public, etc)

--Have a raffle at the panel with door prizes
