When I tell people what libraries are doing today, they're always surprised and interested. They thought they knew what libraries did, but today's libraries offer so much more than they did 10 years ago. </span><br> <br><span style="font-family: garamond, 'new york', times, serif;"> <span style="font-style: italic;">A story is a great way to get this message across.</span> Through a story you can offer more than list of services. You can tell what people are able to achieve with the help of their library. Telling a story that moves people and lasts less than a minute is a real challenge. We need your help!</span><br> <br><span style="font-family: garamond, 'new york', times, serif;"> <a href="http://www.swonlibraries.org/content/new-library-story-contest" target="_blank">Send in your story idea</a> by March 15th. Our panel of judges will choose the most compelling, original and accessible idea. We'll give the winner $250 and will turn your story into a short video you can share with your patrons.
