[New-Poetry] OT Save the Libraries

[Millicent]

Greetings,

One of my friends is leading a campaign to keep Bay Area (northern Calif) libraries open 5 days a week (rather than the 2-3 proposed days): Building and sustaining an effective library advocacy network through ongoing recruitment, clear structure and regular communication.

Of course he's looking for moral support, but he's also looking for poems and stories about the impact of libraries (like how someone learned to read or how the library had a positive impact).?He is particularly looking for writers from the Bay Area or those with a connection to?Oakland/SF.

If you have a real life story or poem on this topic to share, please send them to Patrick Camacho @ save-the-libraries at live.com?or you can send them to me and I will forward them to him.? Thanks in advance!
