The funds for this contest are provided by the Eileen D. Cooke memorial fund. Cooke served as the director of the American Library Association Washington Office from 1972 to 1993 when she retired after 30 years of service with the association. Her indefatigable service in promoting library legislation and policy issues supporting our nation’s libraries was renowned. Eileen played a major role in the development, renewal and funding of key library legislation. Her admirable reputation on Capitol Hill positioned ALA to achieve innumerable successes. She was also instrumental in planning ALA’s National Library Legislative Day, helping to ensure that elected officials heard the voice of library supporters. Eileen passed away on April 30, 2000 at the age of 71. In her honor, ALA established a memorial fund to support legislative advocacy.
Good luck, happy producing, and we look forward to your outstanding entries.
