Step Up to the Plate @ Your Library
The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St, is once again participating in the Step Up To The Plate @ Your Library trivia contest during the months of  June-August 2009.

The American Library Association (ALA) and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum have teamed up for Season Four of Step Up to the Plate @ your library®. This national program brings together two American classics – libraries and baseball – to promote information literacy  and the library as an essential information resource. Information literacy includes being able to find, evaluate and use information.

Season Four centers around multiculturalism in baseball. People of all ages are encouraged to use the print and electronic resources available at their library to answer a series of trivia questions designed for their age group (10 and under, 11-13, 14-17 and 18 and over) and inspired by the history and diversity of our national pastime. Questions are available in both English and  Spanish.

One grand-prize winner receive win a trip for two in October to the Hall of Fame’s World Series Gala event in Cooperstown, N.Y., including a behind-the-scenes tour of the library and archives.

All of the information about the program is available on the Step Up to the Plate Web site at www.ala.org/baseballMore..
