StoryCorps' National Day of Listening resources are now available for November 27, 2009. Libraries can visit http://www.nationaldayoflistening.org/ to download the free Do-It-Yourself Instruction Guide with step-by-step interview instructions, equipment recommendations and great questions.

There are several other ways libraries can get involved in the National Day of Listening:

• Distribute StoryCorps' Do-It-Yourself Instruction Guide at your facilities, and encourage patrons to conduct their own Do-It-Yourself recordings with a loved one on the day after Thanksgiving.
• Provide recording equipment and a quiet recording space for people to record National Day of Listening interviews at your facility.
• Community Service Toolkit and host a National Day of Listening event using our event guide.
• Utilize StoryCorps' online support materials, such as our web banners, logos, customizable web text and Facebook fan button.
• Post the National Day of Listening flyer included in the Community Service Toolkit on your community bulletin board.
• Incorporate StoryCorps’ Education Toolkit into your library's existing education programs.
• Recommend Listening Is an Act of Love as a book club selection for the month of November.

Please let the StoryCorps' representative listed below know what other text or support materials your members may be interested in order to help them get involved in the National Day of Listening this year.
