Dear Colleagues,

The 2014 ALA election will close at 11:59 p.m. CDT on Friday, April 25.  If you have not yet done so, please take a minute now to cast your vote.    In the event you cannot locate the email with your voting credentials, the ALA Member and Customer Service Department can help you.  Contact them at customerservice at ala.org<mailto:customerservice at ala.org>, or 1 (800) 545-2433, option 5.

According to ALA, voting turnout this year is lagging significantly behind last year thus far.  As of Tuesday, April 15, approximately 14.27 percent, of the eligible voters had submitted their ballots.  This compares with 16.98 percent at the same time in 2013.  Total voter turnout in 2013 was 21.4 percent, so let's try to meet or beat that number!

We have two candidates from Ohio on this year's ballot.  Sari Feldman, Executive Director of the Cuyahoga County Public Library, is a candidate for ALA President and Chuck Gibson, Director of Worthington Public Libraries, is a candidate for the ALA Council.  Both would appreciate your support in this election.
Information about the ALA election and the candidates can be found in "Your Guide to the 2014 Elections." The guide is available as a flipbook<http://www.ala.org/aboutala/sites/ala.org.aboutala/files/content/governance/alaelection/2014/Elections%20Guide%202014.swf> or in PDF<http://www.ala.org/aboutala/sites/ala.org.aboutala/files/content/governance/alaelection/2014/Elections%20Guide%202014.pdf> format.  This, as well as other information about ALA elections can be found on the Election Page<http://www.ala.org/aboutala/governance/alaelection> on the ALA website.  A special "pod" and feature slide on the ALA homepage<http://www.ala.org/> will also take you directly to election information.
Thank you.
Beverly
