Voting for your next ALA President ends Friday!

Capture

This Friday is the last chance to get your ballot in to help decide who will be the next ALA President. As an active member of the American Library Association we firmly believe it is essential to let your voice be heard by casting a vote in this election. The ALA plays a vital role in leading the library advocacy in both the United States and the world and this is your chance to decide who is leading the charge.

The ALA issued a press release last week with vital information for casting your vote. In that press release ALA Executive Director Keith Michael Fiels reminded members that "Voting is one of the most important things you can do as a member of the American Library Association. This is because the officers you elect will make a real difference."

The President will act as the voice of you, the librarians, and so it's critical that you take advantage of the ability to select who represents you around the world. If you aren't familiar with the candidates, ALA has created a great "Guide to the 2014 Elections" flipbook to help you become informed. Time is running out so be sure to get your ballot in and rock that vote!
