@ your library™

The American Library Association has launched a campaign encouraging all libraries to use the  @ your library™ logo as part of their promotions.  Richard Bland College Library is proud to support this effort.  The library has chosen the theme Reeling you in @ your library™ as its overall theme and will utilize a spin off of that theme for promotions throughout the year.  Our 2001-2002 campaign was launched on August 21st with an ice cream social for faculty and staff and continued on August 22nd with student orientation.  This campaign coincides with the 40th anniversary of Richard Bland College, thereby providing an opportunity to use "Reeling you in with 40 years of history @ your library™."  See the Calendar of Activities for details of past and future events as we continue to participate in this exciting ALA campaign.  For more information check out the American Library Association Web site at http://www.ala.org/@yourlibrary.
