"Items from Bookapalooza will revolutionize the Naturita children's collection and add zing to the new library's shelves, but we won't wait until the new library's opening to begin putting the Bookapalooza collection into children's hands. The Naturita Library will expand its commitment to youth with the arrival of the new library, and we look forward to being able to hold story hours and other programs in the library. It will be wonderful to share items from the Bookapalooza program at these events," stated Janet Oslund, head of children's services at the Montrose Regional Library District. Naturita, a mining and natural gas drilling town, is located in western Colorado.

Creating a better future for all children through libraries is ALSC’s core purpose.
ALSC envisions a future where:
  • In every library, children come first.
  • All libraries acknowledge the importance of children’s service with adequate materials and resources.
  • All libraries recognize ALSC as a leader in promoting high quality service to children.
  • Libraries recognize and support the value of all staff serving children.
  • Resources, collections, services, and staff reflect the communities they serve.
  • The library’s physical space reflects the developmental needs of children.
  • Children and their families are being served by a variety of non-traditional programs and activities in off-site locations.
In keeping with this envisioned future, the Bookapalooza Program will offer select libraries a collection of materials that will help transform their collection and provide the opportunity for these materials to be used in their community in creative and innovative ways.
