About

¾«¶«´«Ã½

At Nora Sparks Warren Library in Oklahoma, the average age of the materials in the children’s collection is thirty-six years, and the budget hasn’t been able to catch up. The infusion of new materials from Bookapalooza will enable them to attract more youth and families to the library and to increase the variety and frequency of their story times and other children’s programs.

Creating a better future for all children through libraries is ALSC’s core purpose.
ALSC envisions a future where:
  • In every library, children come first.
  • All libraries acknowledge the importance of children’s service with adequate materials and resources.
  • All libraries recognize ALSC as a leader in promoting high quality service to children.
  • Libraries recognize and support the value of all staff serving children.
  • Resources, collections, services, and staff reflect the communities they serve.
  • The library’s physical space reflects the developmental needs of children.
  • Children and their families are being served by a variety of non-traditional programs and activities in off-site locations.
In keeping with this envisioned future, the Bookapalooza Program will offer select libraries a collection of materials that will help transform their collection and provide the opportunity for these materials to be used in their community in creative and innovative ways.
