Heading to ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim? You might be interested in this program:
 
Title: What Can Genealogy Do For Your Library?
Time and location: Sunday June 29, 2008  10:30 am --12:00 pm at Disney’s Paradise Pier (PIER), Pacific Ballroom C/D
 
Genealogy is an excellent draw for public libraries.  You can attract tourism dollars and make your library into a destination library.  Genealogists can be among your most loyal patrons -- they have time and money, and will keep coming back.  See how you can tap into this valuable resource @ your library.
 
In this panel discussion librarians Larry Franke (St. Louis County Library), Michael Kirley (Los Angeles Public Library), and Curt Witcher (Allen County Public Library) will discuss how the genealogical community has benefited their libraries. Moderator: Kathryn Devine (Washington State Library).
