On June 26, 2007, the American Library Association sponsored a Library Day on the Hill where several selected librarians from across the country presented displays to Congress in the Gold Room of the Rayburn Congressional Office Building. Debbie Tenofsky, Head of Reference and Instructional Services, was among the presenters. Tenofsky discussed with members of Congress and their staff how UC Libraries are implementing gaming into library instruction, thus merging information with entertainment. In addition to the presentations, approximately 2,000 librarians visited their Congress people to voice their views on America’s libraries.
