Celebrity READ poster series
The American Library Association (ALA) is pleased to announce that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has joined the popular Celebrity READ poster series. The Celebrity READ poster campaign is one of the most effective ways to encourage people to get a good education, improve their reading skills, and to read for sheer enjoyment. The ALA has been fortunate to have the support of many actors, athletes, artists, and musicians who support the campaign to increase public awareness of the importance and pleasure of reading. Mr. Abdul-Jabbar joins other notable stars like Orlando Bloom, Salma Hayek, Corbin Bleu, Tony Hawk, Serena Williams, Rachael Ray, Yo-Yo Ma, and many others. Mr. Abdul-Jabbar is the 2008 Honorary Chair Library Card Sign-up Month, which takes place in September. He will also appear at the American Library’s National Convention on June 28th and 29th at the Long Beach Convention Center to sign his poster.

NOT ABOUT NBA - ABOUT MILES DAVIS: I want to contact Kareem Abdul-Jabbar knowing that he is a big fan of Jazz and let him know that one of three US performances of Miles from India will be in LA on June 1 at 8 PM performing for Grand Performances. I can get him details if he is interested and it does not conflict with any of the finals games. For details, check out .

Why on earth do the make these posters? The only place I ever see them is in the library. Why are we telling people in the library to READ? Do we put VOTE signs in voting booths, do we put EAT signs in restaurants? Am I going crazy here? Shouldn't these posters go elsewhere?
Looks nice though, carry on.
