Whether it\u2019s of a child exploring a new book app or a staff member hosting a digital story time, we ask you to share your photos with us. The Task Force is very interested in what libraries are doing across the country. We are presently gathering digital content photos and photos of tablets and iPads in libraries. Please feel free to contribute images of your favorite apps. We\u2019ll be curating these images and sharing this virtual collection with the ALSC membership soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you have images that you would like to share, please be mindful of your library\u2019s policy on minor children in photographs.\u00a0 Please make sure that the proper documents such as photo release forms have been signed by the child\u2019s grown-up.<\/p>\n<p>Please send your photos to <a href=\"mailto:digitalcontenttaskforce@gmail.com\">digitalcontenttaskforce@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0.
