Libraries make it better

The American Library Association announced last week that it had become a sponsor of Make It Matter Day. The Chicago-based library trade group described the promotion as “an effort to encourage Americans to participate in literacy and education activities,” and it’s organized by Reader’s Digest.
The actual day is Oct.3 .
“The ALA supports Reader’s Digest in its commitment to literacy and education, which matter to the librarians who help foster the literacy skills Americans need to participate fully in a global information society,” ALA President Camila Alire said in a press release.
The editors at Reader’s Digest asked readers to identify a cause that mattered most to them. The winner was literacy and education.
Readers are invited to share their stories about books and reading together at the Readers Digest site.
