The American Library Association (ALA) is spearheading a series of activities during the week of Veteran's Day, November 11, 2008 at libraries across the country to make information available to help veterans and their families better understand the education benefits available under the new Post 9/11 GI Bill.
ALA's Office of Government Relations (OGR) is working with a group of four national organizations in this effort, including the American Legion National Headquarters, the American Council on Education, the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools, and the National Military Family Association.
(Realistically, knowledgeable reference librarians are always happy to help veterans and their families with information at their disposal; next week, however, appears to be a special push to get this information into the hands of veterans and their families, in honor of Veterans Day.)
