National Library Week: Field Trips, Week of Apr. 13

It's our week to give ourselves pats on the back and hang ALA posters featuring Jamie Lee Curtis. But to really take National Library Week by the horns, grab your camera and start "captur[ing] the essence of New York librarianship" for the NYLA Snapshot Contest. Post your photos to Flickr, carefully following the contest guidelines. Fame awaits!

• Apr. 14: National Library Workers Day. 2009 mantra: "Libraries Work Because We Do!"
