Dear Friends I thank all the Librarian fraternity of Bangalore for having supported the cause of *“Walk to the book – March to the Library”. *I was overwhelmed by the support extended by all of you specially the younger Librarian friends made this event a grand success. This gives us a message that, we the professional Associations are lacking in organizing and using the young librarians for the professional activities. I along with my other sister Association office bearers shall take this message seriously and start working jointly for the common cause of the profession. In the next years to come we shall make it as a festival of Librarians and create and awareness among the public at large. I thank all those (Professional Associations’ office bearers) who worked meticulously and were responsible for the success of this march. I request all the Librarian friends to come forward and enroll your membership to *KARNATAKA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (KALA) *and attend the general body meeting of the KALA in a big number. Please come forward to take up the responsibility of KALA by submitting your nominations for different positions in the forth coming elections. *Until and unless we transfer the administration and management of our Associations to the younger generation Librarians, our Associations will suffer from lack of leadership.* Let all the senior professionals stand aside and support the Association from the back and help the new generation Librarians to take up the responsibility of building Associations. *I also wish to give a call to all the professionals to leave all their personal work and join your hands to Associations when it comes to exhibition of our unity.* With very many thanks and regards, -- Dr.P.V.Konnur President, IALA Fulbright Fellow (University of Illinois) University Librarian, Bangalore University Library, Jnanabharati, Bangalore-560056 Phone: 080-22961131, 23215510 Website: http://library.bub.ernet.in/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sathya <sathya19(a)gmail.com> Date: Aug 13, 2010 8:28 AM Subject: Fwd: [LIS-Forum] Congrats to Dr. P.
