2004 3M Salute to Schools
For the fifth consecutive year, 3M, in cooperation with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), will donate $1.5 million in 3M Detection Systems and Tattle-Tape Security Strips to 100 middle and high school library media centers in the United States through the 2004 3M Salute to Schools program. Individual donations will vary depending upon specific needs of the library media center, such as the size of a collection and the physical layout. To be considered for the donation, a school must meet eligibility requirements and be able to demonstrate a need for a detection system. Applications must be postmarked by March 1, 2004. Details and application forms are available from AASL or from 3M.
