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.
