Alla Makeeva-Roylance, BPL (a.makeeva@brooklynpubliclibrary.org),

Make sure your proposals arrive before April 30, 2007.

The Diversity Fair is being introduced by NYLA’s ESRT (Ethnic Services Round Table) at the Annual Conference in 2007, as a part of our 25th Anniversary Celebrations.  We are hoping that this will be an annual event.  We hope to encourage those who are addressing diversity programs, activities and services in local libraries to share their resources with others. It also allows for NYLA conference attendees to glean workable strategies for serving their community’s underserved populations.  Please join us in this groundbreaking event for NYLA!
