September is apparently Library Card Sign-up Month. Not that you’d know it by looking at the ALA website, or even looking at the specific page for this event. In fact, look at that page and see if you can even tell me what month sign-up month is. If the best you can do with a “news” section is something from two months ago, I’d say don’t bother with a news section. (now fixed, both things, how nifty!) ILoveLibraries does slightly better but their link to the ALA page is broken.
I signed up for a library card yesterday which was my eighth card of all the little libraries in my region. I also helped the librarian sign up for a blog and talked with her a bit about MySpace. [catalogablog]
Just fyi,
The ALA/Gates Foundation _Public Library Funding and Technology Access Study_ will supposedly appear online tomorrow (9/12/07):

Obviously someone at ALA reads your blog, because this page http://www.ala.org/ala/pio/otherinit/card/librarycard.htm is all better now.
