Dear Librarian:

The ALA Public Programs Office is pleased to partner with the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for the seventh We the People Bookshelf project. This year’s theme, “A More Perfect Union,†invites reflection on the idea of the United States as a “union,†a “One†as well as a “Many,†and will complement library programs observing the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. To stimulate programming, the Bookshelf features a DVD edition of “The Civil War,†the award-winning documentary by Ken Burns, including the rights to show the series to public audiences..

Public and school (K-12) libraries are invited to apply online through January 29, 2010 at http://publicprograms.ala.org/bookshelf<http://maildogmanager.com/link.html?url=1631&client=ala1&campaign=769&email=skjohns@gmail.com>. A single application may be submitted on behalf of multiple libraries within a library system, school district or community. Individual branch and school libraries are also encouraged to apply.

In spring 2010, NEH will award 4,000 libraries a collection of 17 classic hardcover books for young readers, related to the theme, "A More Perfect Union", as well as the option to receive Spanish translations of three titles, and bonus materials for readers of all ages. Successful applicants will also receive accompanying materials for programming, including bookplates, bookmarks and posters.

For programming ideas and tips, access to the guidelines and application, book titles, and further details, visit http://publicprograms.ala.org/bookshelf<http://maildogmanager.com/link.html?url=1631&client=ala1&campaign=769&email=skjohns@gmail.com>.
