Want to check out What's
New in Libraries? No need to actually go to the library to find
out -just TURN ON YOUR TV! What's New in Libraries? , a monthly
cable program that showcases new and innovative services at area libraries,
has been recognized by the American Library Association with the organization's
most prestigious award for public relations.
What's New in Libraries?
which is produced by the North Suburban Library System in partnership
with the Library Cable Network, was awarded the John Cotton Dana Library
Public Relations Award at American Library Association winter conference.
What's New? was also recognized for excellence as a winner

"Over 50 communities in the north
and northwest Chicago suburbs can now tune in to their local cable station
to catch the latest news about their most valuable community resource
- the library," says Sarah Long, director of the North Suburban Library
System, and host of What's New in Libraries? "As the leaders
in the information business, libraries know that people are looking
for faster and easier ways to find information. Why not find it the
same place you find entertainment? That applies for both the Internet
and television. We feel confident working in both these creative mediums.
No doubt, viewers are going to be surprised by many things they learn
about on What's New in Libraries?"
