The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: How It Pertains to Georgia’s Libraries

Georgia Library Quarterly 46 (2), Spring 2009 includes an article by Diana J. Very on The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: How It Pertains to Georgia’s Libraries. Ms. Very, director of LSTA, Statistics and Research for Georgia Public Library Service, gave us permission to post the article on the GLA website, where you can now find it.

[Note: Since GLQ's move to a digital format, this article has been relocated. It is now available on the GLQ Digital Commons.]

Seeking GLQ Book Reviewers

We are revising our procedure for reviewing materials for the GLQ. We would like reviewers to use new items from their own libraries as the review copies. We are asking that those interested in reviewing items should choose those that can be linked to the Southeast (history, gardening, biography, etc.), are written by a Southern author, or published in the South. We would also like to include children’s and young adult materials to the list along with AV materials. We also ask that reviewers not have a prior connection with the material as a researcher, family friend of the author, etc.

Please check with Karen Odom-kodom@houpl.org or Sarah smcghee@chestateelibrary.org to reserve the title before you submit if you are interested in reviewing for the GLQ under these new parameters.

Thanks!
