New York libraries – get out your cameras and take a shot at fame!  The New York Library Association is having a fun photo contest.  Visit the NLW – Library Snapshot New York State flickr group to learn more and submit your photos.

During National Library Week 2009 on the days of April 12 – 18, New York Librarians and Library Staff will take a range of photographs of libraians working, meeting, teaching, and other activities that librarians do in a given day.

We encourage you to be creative in taking photos that capture the essence of New York Librarianship. Winners will be picked for the following categories:

  • Librarians as Teachers and Trainers
  • Librarians as Trailblazers in New Technology
  • Most Humorous

Winners will be recognized on the NYLA website (www.nyla.org) and during the 2009 NYLA Annual Conference this October in Niagara Falls.

Each photo should also have the tag snapNY09. You may use any additional tags and titles and descriptions that relate to the photo.

Please visit NYLA Snapshot Contest for complete contest guidelines.
