What has your library done for you lately? Woman's Day magazine wants to know.
Woman’s Day and the American Library Association's (ALA) Campaign for America’s Libraries annual contest is now open for entries.
Is there something special about your public library? Has it made a difference in your life and in the lives of your neighbors? Tell Woman's Day in an essay of 700 words or less, and you and your story could be chosen as one of up to four winners to be featured online or in an upcoming issue of Woman's Day magazine.
From now through May 9, women ages 18 and up are invited to enter the contest by sending their stories to womansday@ala.org. Complete rules and additional information is available at www.womansday.com/ala.
Last year Woman's Day asked readers how their public library helped them save money. Four women and their contest winning essays are featured in this Woman's Day article. Read to find out how each of these women discovered more than free books within the walls of her local library branch.
For men and those under age 18

Good article, and a wonderful idea to link us to writing opportunities. I love my library and my library experiences, and can think of nothing I'd rather write in praise of...well, almost nothing.
I LOVE my local public library. I actually feel like I helped to build it - I managed the PR team for the Santa Monica Public Library Grand Opening and got to work with the architect, landscaper and interior designers as well as staging events and press tours. To this day I have such an affinity for libraries in general and the Santa Monica library specifically. I will definitely enter this contest!
Hi Jessica, thank you for sharing the information about the contest.
I certainly wasn't aware of this writing contest. Thanks for the info.
