StoryCorps' National Day of Listening resources are up and ready!

Libraries of all kinds are invited to participate and to share information about the upcoming event: StoryCorps' National Day of Listening on November 27, 2009. (Day after Thanksgiving)

Libraries can visit http://www.nationaldayoflistening.org/ to download a free Do-It-Yourself Instruction Guide
<http://www.nationaldayoflistening.org/participate/#> with step-by-step interview instructions, equipment recommendations and great questions.

There are several other ways libraries can get involved in the National Day of Listening:

* Distribute StoryCorps' Do-It-Yourself Instruction Guide
     <http://www.nationaldayoflistening.org/participate/#> and encourage patrons to conduct their own
     Do-It-Yourself recordings with a loved one on the day after Thanksgiving.

* Provide recording equipment and a quiet recording space for people to record National Day of Listening interviews at your library.

* Download StoryCorps' Community Service Toolkit
     <http://www.nationaldayoflistening.org/participate/#> and host a National Day of Listening event using the StoryCorps' event guide.

* Utilize StoryCorps' online support materials
     <http://www.nationaldayoflistening.org/stations/>, such as web-banners, logos, customizable web text and Facebook fan button.

* Post the National Day of Listening flyer included in the Community Service Toolkit on your library's community bulletin board.

* Incorporate StoryCorps Education Toolkit
     <http://www.nationaldayoflistening.org/participate/> into your library's existing education programs.

* Recommend the book:  Listening Is an Act of Love as a book club selection for the month of November.
