For those ARLIS members going to ALA annual I am forwarding information
on a couple of programs with regard to librarian salaries.
Dear Colleagues,
I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention three programs that are
of special importance in terms of my Campaign for America's Librarians
Presidential Initiative, and the work being done on that initiative by
my Task force on Better Salaries and Pay Equity for Library Workers.
1. Saturday, June 15, 2-4PM. Library Support Services Interest Round
Table Program, "Role of ALA in Supporting Library Workers' Salaries."
The four speakers, all part of the Task Force on Better Salaries and Pay
Equity for Library Workers: Maurice J. (Mitch) Freedman, ALA
President-Elect; Patricia Glass Schuman, Task Force Coordinator; Gene
Kinnaly, Task Force Support Staff Working Group Coordinator; and Donna
Mandel, Task Force Union Working Group Coordinator.
2. Monday, June 17, 9-10AM. Speaker: Michael Moore, #1 Best-Selling
Author of "Stupid White Men" and the just-announced winner of the Cannes
Film Festival Special Prize for his movie, "Bowling for Columbine."
This program is sponsored by the ALA Task Force on Better Salaries and
Pay Equity for Library Workers, and by EpixTech Corporation.
3. Tuesday, June 18, 8-9AM. ALA Closing General Session Speaker:
Barbara Ehrenreich, Author, "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in
