The Great Librarian Write-Out!!
Feb 11th
Want to save libraries? We’ve got to step outside the libraryland echo chamber*, and talk with to people who don’t live, eat, breath and obsess about libraries most every minute of the day. The ever-awesome Patrick Sweeney has launched a very, very cool project to get us going: http://pcsweeney.com/2011/02/10/the-great-librarian-write-out/
You’ve got nearly a year to participate. Please join in!
