A visit to the library changed Rick Hughes' life. Now, Rick is an avid reader, community volunteer and library advocate.

Our libraries need champions right now. Be a champion and rally for libraries on Library Advocacy Day (June 29, 2010). A big rally is going down in Washington that day. Learn how to be part of something big and wonderful at ala.org/lad.

Can't make it? Rally at your state capitol. Rally in your hometown. Pitch a library love flash mob in a surprising place. But whatever you do, please champion libraries.
