Pass it On: Wisconsin’s Library Heritage

The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) of the American Library Association (ALA) is sponsoring the first Preservation Week May 9-15, 2010. The theme for the ALCTS Preservation Week is “Pass it On”. It is a great theme and can also be considered a plea from the Wisconsin Library Heritage Center Steering Committee as it relates to Wisconsin’s library heritage. Our library heritage consists of archives, artifacts, architecture, and the memory of those librarians and library supporters who have handed down the legacy that is today’s Wisconsin library community. There are lots of ideas on the Preservation Week website that can be used to highlight and promote your library’s heritage. Why not undertake some of them this year.
