Q. Our town’s library is bursting its seams, so we’re beginning the exploration for a new one. Is there any place we can look for the cost factors we need to consider?
Q. Using several sources, both print and online, I’ve tracked down the type of art media used in many of the Caldecott Medal-winning books, but I haven’t been able to find some of the older ones, so my list is not complete. Can ALA help with this? I just want the art media for the Caldecott winners, not the honor books, if that helps.
Q. My local service club would like to give children at the elementary school in town a book this holiday season. Most of the children are African American or Hispanic, and they are in grades from kindergarten to sixth grade. What can you suggest?
Q. My library board would like to know if ALA has a policy in relation to taking pictures of children or adults in the library and then using them for promotional purposes, including posting them to the online photo sharing web site, Flickr. We love to share our events, but we’re concerned about copyright.
Q. I am a high-school senior working on a school project in which we must write an extensive paper on a special interest group of our choice. I've always been interested in being a librarian, so I chose the American Library Association. Your website has been helpful, but I don't see any information on the ALA interaction (or impact) on recent congressional or presidential elections. Where should I be looking?
