Only recently (2010) has the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) began to observe Preservation Week. This year, during the week of April 21-27th, take time to highlight your community and other local organizations by promoting preservation at your library.
Assistance on how to celebrate preservation in both big and small ways can be found @ your library or by going to the preservationtoolkit developed by ALCTS. You can also peruse the ALCTS event toolkit for additional planning and promotional ideas!
