Woman's Day Seeks Library Stories

Woman's Day magazine has announced a call for entries on a timely topic: using the library to help save money. From February 17 through May 18, 2009, women ages 18 and up are invited to send in stories in 700 words or less for a chance to be profiled in the March 2010 issue. Consult the official rules website for more information.

Continuing an eight-year partnership with the American Library Association's Campaign for America's Libraries that has generated millions of dollars worth of editorial coverage for libraries, the March 2009 issue of Woman's Day profiles four women (PDF file) who use the library to improve their health. Copies of Woman's Day are available in the library.

Entries may be submitted on or after 12:00 Noon ET on February 17, 2009 and must be submitted no later than 12:00 Noon ET on May 18, 2009. Please send all entries to womansday@ala.org. If you need assistance with submitting your story using email, ask your local library staff.
